#FridayNews

***We are so close to being 100% for the ColorRun on our team!  Remember the due date is Monday!! (09/16!)  This is a day filled with such great team activities!  We celebrate more than just the Color Run!  Our students will be involved in great team building games with our TEAM 6-1!  Here are some examples from past years:  hula hoop contests, kickball tournament, popsicles, character lesson with sidewalk chalk, Simon says games, and so much more!!!

***Just a hint and we are sharing our secret with you:  Dawn Liquid Detergent gets the color off of your skin.  Go ahead and get your bottle now before the stores in Hoover run low!  It's the thing we found that works the best!

***School pictures will be during PE times on September 18th!

***Progress Reports went home on Thursday, September 12th.  Please ask your child for theirs.  Sign one copy and return asap!  Remember INOW is a working gradebook and is LIVE so grades can change at any time.  Please make sure you check your child's grades at least once or twice a week!

***Our students are settling in and we are very positive and excited for a great year! We want to make sure the "settling in" doesn't get "too settling!" You may want to glance at your child's agenda.  If they have highlighted blue marks, this indicates they had a blank and did not write down what they should have for that day and are relying on the online agenda.  This means they are not doing what they should when walking into the classroom.  We spoke about this and have seen a change in preparedness and attitude for the better!  Students feel better and so do we!  We are all in this together.

***Have a great weekend!
