March News













Dear Parents,
The month of March is finally here. We start TCAP (CSAP) on Tuesday, March 6. As always, please make sure your child comes to school fully rested and with a healthy breakfast. During the two weeks of testing, we won’t be sending home any homework, however they are still expected to read, read, read every night.
Their 3-D book report is due also on Tuesday, March 6. We have been talking about this in class over the last two weeks and your child should have been working on it. Report cards go home next Friday, March 9 and this book report will be reflected on that report card.
Thank you to all the parents who came to conferences this past month. It is wonderful to see such support at home.
Please mark your calendars for the 6th grade continuation meeting to be held on Thursday, March 8, from 6:30 to 7:30pm in the Leawood Community Room. Parents will be discussing plans for the sixth grade continuation activities and the sixth grade memory book. Have you submitted your pictures??? Please send to Ron and Mary Thompson at caseymattie@msn.com or copy to cd and give to Mattie Thompson – Mrs. Story’s class. Please feel free to contact Kristi Zakrzewski if you have questions, 303-797-7060.
If you don’t send in your pictures, your child will have a blank page in the memory book. Please make this a priority.
We just wanted you to know how awesome your sixth graders did at the Share the Love food drive in February. It was freezing cold and none of them whined or complained. We collected over 6 tons of food and more than $1700 in cash and gift cards.
