Principal ENotes- December 14, 2015

Dear Parents,

Can you believe we are here, at the midpoint of the 2015-2016 school year? Time flies when you are having fun.

This final week is very busy in the elementary school with: choir concerts, kindergarten and PK performances, elementary and whole-school assemblies, and class holiday parties. It is a festive environment where student are joyfully learning and participating.

Know too that the first semester report card will go home with your child on Friday. Please be on the lookout for that important document. (If you are traveling ahead of Friday, we will hold the report card in the office until you can pick it up when school resumes on Monday, January 10.)

From the elementary school, we wish you and your family a safe, joyful holiday!

Warmly,
Jen

ES After School Activities
Today (December 14) is the final day to apply for the Winter Season of school-sponsored after school activities. The link on Moodle will remain open, however  all forms received after the deadline will receive a “late” stamp and will be considered only for those activities where we still have space left.
Application results will be sent to parents as we return from the holiday break in January. Winter Season will run January 18-March 11.
CLARIFICATION: I have received a number of questions regarding Drama Skills activity. This activity was not open for signing up at this time because we are not taking new participants. Those who participated in the Fall Season are expected to continue without signing up again. All students who are presently on the list will have a part in the play. The rehearsals will be twice a week, Tuesdays and Fridays, and a third rehearsal will most probably be needed. The production leaders will inform you about this in January. The play will happen on February 14 & 15.

If you have any questions regarding school-sponsored after school activities please contact the ES Activities Coordinator Ms. Kusanovic: tkusanovic@aswarsaw.org
