Lower School Update - August 19, 2019

School Photos
Individual and class photos will be taken on Thursday and Friday. Please click here to find your child’s designated time. Make up for individual photos will be taken on August 26.     

Back to School Night
All parents are invited to our Back to School Night on Thursday, August 29. During the evening, you will visit your child’s classroom and meet the teacher. Our specialist and Portuguese teachers will also be available to chat. The schedule for the evening will be sent out later this week. 

Room Parent 101
On Friday morning, we will meet with all room parents for the 2019-20 school year (each classroom will have one parent assigned to this role). This training will provide our volunteers with some guidance of the roles and responsibilities of the room parent. Thank you to those parents willing to help out in this special way!

“How Was School Today?”
Graded has recently begun to focus on the Science of Learning and one powerful tool for deep learning is reflection.  Often times, when children return home from school, parents ask “How was school today?” Instead of this question that might only get a one-word response, here is an article with lots of questions to ask which will get your child thinking, reflecting and sharing with you.

Children After School
Just a reminder that children who do not take the bus are to be picked up promptly after school. If the child remains on campus, they must be directly supervised by an adult. If not with an adult, they may go to the Lower School Library or the Lower School Office where there is supervision until 4:00 pm.
