A permission slip was sent home today for the Tom's Incentive. Please note that the 3-strikes requirement is still in effect for missing/late assignments. There are many students with one and two strikes, so even if you sign the permission slip they must continue turning in assignments until June 3 to be eligible.

A note went home today about our End-of-the-Year Auction. It will be held Wednesday, June 1. I know that is a few weeks away but with Spring Cleaning it is the perfect time to collect donations. Your child can bring in donations at any time.
A note went home today regarding Officer Geller. Officer Geller is a Facility Dog that will be coming to school on a daily basis with Officer Jorgenson.
Please read the activity notes carefully that come home. Many times the form and payment need to go somewhere other than school. I would feel bad if a student missed a deadline because they brought the form to school instead of where it needed to go.
Students have been doing well turning in their homework on time and avoiding strikes for the Tom's Acknowledgement. Please continue to make sure that your child's homework is done on a daily basis.

Monday - last Library Check Out

To celebrate the effort, hard work and stamina everyone showed during Forward Testing we had a snack party. We have completed all State Testing for the year. It is estimated that we will receive results sometime this summer.

Tomorrow is a Late Start Wednesday.
We have earned over 400 Cougar Paws and will be having lunch on the Clovis Hill. We will wait for a warm, sunny day to do this.
Due to MAP Testing our library time had to be rescheduled for next week. We will be going on Monday, May 16 from 10:30 - 11:00. This will be our last library check-out time for the school year.

The final book order of the year went home today. Book Orders are due next Monday, May 16. This will insure that the books are sent to school before Summer Vacation.
Tuesday is Forward Testing for Math Session 2. We will test right after breakfast. Please make sure that your child gets enough sleep so that they can do their best.
Wednesday is a Late Start.
Students asked if they could use this week to continue studying for the Spelling Bee. We will hold our classroom Spelling Bee on Friday, May 20. Our 5 finalist will compete against Mrs. Borowski and Mr. Viotto's finalists the last week of school. A definite date will be sent home later.
Mothers, if you do not get a sunflower sprout by Friday, let me know and I will send home another seed. If we plant too early, the stems get snapped on the way home and students are then disappointed.

Please remember to send a disposal/recyclable lunch with your child tomorrow, if you have not purchased a school "Lunch to Go." There will not be food for sale at Heritage Hills. Students may wear a blue Clovis shirt or sweatshirt, if they have one. If not, one will be provided for them. Also, NO electronics are allowed including cell phones. The only exception to this will be cameras.
We will have a fourth grade spelling bee. Unlike the National Geography Bee, this is just a contest held in the fourth grade classes - the winning student will not advance anywhere. I sent home the word list for the classroom competition. Winning students will advance to face students in Mrs. Borowski and Mr. Viotto's class for an overall winner. Dates of both contests will be decided shortly. I sent home the list of first round words for students to begin studying.
We will take our last Forward Test, Math Session 2, on Tuesday morning.

I am sorry for the confusion about spelling this week. I had previously put the spelling list in mailboxes ahead of time and then realized that with all the changes in our schedule this week, there wouldn't be ample time to prepare for a test at school. I, then, forgot to take the list out of mailboxes. We will use those spelling words next week.

Due to the Field Trip and Forward Testing this week, we will not have spelling.
This morning began our homework incentive for Tom's Drive-In. Students knew from Friday that they needed to have math homework complete when they walked in the door or it would count as their first missing assignment.
April Reading Minutes can still be turned in, if not already done so.
Wednesday is Math Session 1 for Forward Testing.
Thursday is Heritage Hills. Remember, if your child did not order a School Lunch to Go they need to bring a lunch where the garage can be recycled or thrown away. They should not bring plastic containers that need to be brought back home.
