Wednesday, November 17, at 7:30 there will be a meeting on the K-5 math program in the elementary library. There is a request to consider adding the program Rocket Math. The discussion will be how this fits with all the components and benchmarks that we have for our math program.

Our Veteran’s Day program will be on November 11, from 10:00 – 10:20, in the Activity Center. It will be a very full agenda (I will get it out to you next week). Students should be seated and ready by 10:00. Please go in K-1 at 9:45, 2-3 at 9:50, and 4-5 at 9:55. Students should come in very quietly and respectfully. The band will be playing patriotic music as students enter and sit down. Please tell students that they should enter and stay seated at voice volume 0. Since first grade goes to recess at 10:20, they should be the first group to leave.
