Our Wildcats continue to impress as we finish another week at "The Rock!" Our Grade 3 students had a special visit from some members of the Rosamond Gifford Zoo. They brought the "Zoo to you," which is an inquiry-based educational program to increase awareness of the natural world and encourage participants to be environmentally conscious.
As we turn our focus to next week, our Grade 4 students will complete a Science Investigation, "Light It Up," where they will apply scientific ideas to design, test, and refine electric circuits that convert energy from one form to another. This will be a two-day process and will take place on Tuesday and Thursday of next week!
This is a friendly reminder to all families that tomorrow, Friday, January 26, is an early dismissal for all students due to a Superintendent's Conference Day! We will begin dismissal at or around 11:10am.
BE AWESOME!
Mr. Kimpland
Electronic Devices
We would like all Wildcat families to review our policy regarding electronic devices. Our elementary policy regarding such devices reads:
"Personally owned electronic degames and devices, such as cell phones, CD players, iPods, remote control cars, hand-held video games etc., must be off and away throughout the school day. These items can be lost, stolen, broken and are a distraction. The school cannot and will not be responsible for these items. Please help us by keeping them at home."
Students who violate this policy may be subject to the following disciplinary sequence:
First Report:
The student will receive a warning.
Second Report:
Parents will be notified.
Third Report:
The device will be taken away and a parent/guardian will be required to pick it up.
Please note at this time all apple watches or similar devices are allowed but are not to be used for anything other than telling time and must not be a distraction, during school hours. These watches or similar devices will follow the same reports above if they are a distraction and/or being used inappropriately.
