Please read carefully regarding our field trip to the GA Aquarium on Monday, April 18th:

-We will be going to the aquarium gift shop; you may wish to give your student spending $.

-Please double-check with your child about their lunch on Monday. Several students said that they were going to bring their lunch from home. We have already given the cafeteria a count of students who need sack lunches, so it’s very important that students remember their lunch if they said they were going to bring one from home.

-Some students have not returned their form stating how they’re going home on Monday (picked up at 3PM or ASP). Please send this form (or a note) with your child on Monday if you haven’t already.

-Please have your child wear comfortable shoes & clothing; we will be doing a lot of walking!

-If you are picking up your child at 3PM after the field trip, please park in the lots in front of or on the side of the school.

Please read these reminders about field day on Friday, April 22nd:

-Have your child apply sunscreen before coming to school.

-Students may wear a hat and sunglasses while they are outside and participating in field day (not while inside the school building.)

-Students may bring a water bottle outside to field day.

-Students should dress in comfortable clothes and tennis shoes.

We have been working hard and it’s time for some relaxation and fun! This week we have finished our units on the Cold War, figurative language, and electromagnets. When we return from break, we will continue to learn about different natural disasters: their causes, effects, and how to prepare for them.

Some important things to remember:

Spring Break is next week; no school from April 4th-8th; school resumes on Monday, April 11th.

Cell phones- please remember that students are not allowed to have cell phones out at school. Because some students have not complied with this rule, all teachers have been directed by Dr. Luscre and Mrs. Kelly that if students are seen with their cell phones out to confiscate them. Parents will be contacted to pick up the cell phone at school. Please discuss this with your child and help us to reinforce this rule; we want all students to be safe at Big Shanty!

Supplies- Your students are running low/out! Please replenish their supply of pencils, erasers, and glue sticks.

Have a wonderful Spring Break! Have lots of fun and sleep in. 🙂
