Dear Parents and Students,
Welcome back and Happy New Year! I am excited to be back to school and hope you all enjoyed your Christmas vacation.
We have a busy week next week. It is our parent teacher conferences and our 3rd Language Arts block assessment testing. Please remember to be on time to your conference. If you are unable to attend at your scheduled time, please let me know so I can reschedule with you. Also, please help your child to be on time to school each day. We will be doing the majority of our block assessment in the mornings each day next week. If your child is tardy or misses that day it is difficult to get their test made up. You can also help your child be successful on the test by getting plenty of rest and a good breakfast each day.
Yesterday we had an assembly with Miss Bear River Valley, Morgan Roche. We learned more about juvenile diabetes. I hope your child came home and discussed something they learned from the assembly. We learned some helpful ways to keep our bodies healthy; eat healthy foods, get enough exercise, drink eight glasses of water a day, and get enough sleep.
I am sending home a new family art project with your student today. This will be our art displayed in the hallway for January and February. Please have them returned to school by January 20th. I am also sending home book orders for January. Book orders are due on Friday January 16, 2008.
Thank you for all you do! We have such a great class this year. I really appreciate the great support I receive from you. If you have any questions or concerns please contact me at school. I look forward to meeting with you at parent teacher conferences next week.

Thank you,
Mrs. Shaffer
