Calling All Field Day Volunteers!

Be on the lookout for information regarding Field Day volunteers for our K-2 Field Day on May 11^th.

End of the Year Celebration

We will serve lunch to the kids (Chick-fil-A boxes) and then we will have stations set up outdoors or in each classroom for the classes to rotate around. There will be fun activities planned at each station – Dance, Limbo, Outdoor Fun, Popsicle/Karaoke, Minute to Win It, Beach Ball Autograph. We are asking for a donation from each family to help us to pay for the food and supplies needed to make this party successful. If each family is willing to contribute $7 towards the party, we should be able to cover the cost of every child. Please send in your donation (we can only accept cash) in an envelope to your child's teacher labeled "End of Year Party" by May 12^th. We are also in need of volunteers to help run stations. If you are volunteer trained and willing to help, be on the lookout for an email from Mrs. Hayono. She has graciously volunteered to coordinate all of our party helpers and supplies. Thank you for helping make our End of the Year Celebration great for the kids!

 Parent Survey

In an effort to improve system practices, Oconee County Schools is conducting a parent survey. We value your opinion and ask that you take the time to complete this survey. The web survey will be available until May 12, 2017.

In order to complete the survey, please go to:  http://eprovesurveys.advanc-ed.org/surveys/#/action/19726/2963/1

Please be assured that your responses to this survey will be anonymous. Your honest opinion is appreciated.

Our field trip to Bear Hollow Zoo is scheduled for Wednesday, May 3^rd from 9:15-1:00. If your child does not have a permission form turned in, they will be unable to attend. We are asking that lunches be sent in a disposable bag with items that can be tossed or recycled after lunch. If you did not let me know that your child will need a lunch from the cafeteria, please send them with a lunch. Thank you for your help!

We have snack every day. Please encourage your student to pack a snack each day. Lunch time can be a long time to wait to eat.
