ADVOCACY FOCUS
This month’s focus for Advocacy is Mindfulness so all classes will be doing activities focused on that topic during our mornings together.
DRUMS OF THE WORLD FIELD TRIP ON DECEMBER 3rd HAS BEEN CANCELED
MAP ASSESSMENTS
Winter MAP testing is upon us and our schedule for those tests is as follows:
Monday, December 2nd in the morning, students will take the Math assessment
Wednesday, December 4th in the morning students will take the Reading assessment
Friday, December 6th in the morning students will take the Math assessment.
Please discuss with your child how important it is to give your best effort, read carefully, and get a good night's sleep the night before! Students are working on setting goals for each test as well. Ask your child if they met their goal each day!
HOLIDAY SHOP
Running from December 9-13
We will have a preview day on Monday only at lunch/quiet time (students with money will be allowed to shop). Students will not be allowed in the shop any other time the rest of the week without money.
Tuesday – Friday: only students with money can shop during lunch and quiet time.
The shop is also open M-F from 3:15 - 4:30 for students with money or students with a parent.
CONFERENCES
Winter Parent Teacher Conferences will take place from 8:00am - 8:00pm on Thursday, December 19th and from 8:00am - 12:00pm on Friday, December 20tht. The link to the sign up will be emailed to all parents and will also be available on every teacher’s Advocacy pages. Please make sure to sign up for only one slot and indicate the teachers you would like to be present. We will make the final determination about who will attend based on the other conferences taking place at the same time. Thanks for your understanding that we are trying to be present with as many parents as possible.
JA IN A DAY
Jr. Achievement will be taking place on Friday, January 31st, 2020. We need volunteers! If you are interested in teaching & volunteering that day, please reach out to your child’s advocacy teacher! A training session is required in order to participate. For more information, please see the following link: https://www.jacolorado.org/volunteer-resources/
LUNCH CLEAN UP
Please help us in helping your child to keep track of their things and clean up after themselves properly following lunches. We are having some issues with students being very careless about their clean up and it is resulting in food being left in places it should not be and the sink and drinking fountain being left with food that clogs our system. Please talk with your child about appropriately cleaning up after lunch.
