4/7

 Hello families!

Few things:

Upcoming Field Trip: Each year 1st grade and Kindergarten do a joint field trip to Denver Zoo. This year we will be going on May 1st. The field trip permission slip came home today and is due back with a 7 dollar check made out to Landmark Academy, on April 14th. I will need chaperones, on the permission slip form please indicate if you would like to be a chaperone (do not email). Chaperones will need to arrive to school, carry student lunches, monitor on the bus, and guide students around the zoo safely. Chaperones must ride the bus and cannot bring siblings. I will email and confirm if you are a chaperone. If you are interested in just meeting us at the zoo, please fill out this HERE.

Field trips are a privilege and are used to extend our learning in a fun new environment. Students who receive 2 or more behavior emails before going on the field trip will not be able to attend. This is to encourage respectful and productive behavior in class and on the field trip. This will start from April 17th till our field trip on May 1st.

ABC Countdown: First Grade will be doing an ABC countdown to summer break. It will start on April 18th. I will send more details at a later date but wanted to put it on your radar.

Absences: If your student is going to be absent please email me and call the office. End of year testing will be starting at the end of the month and it will help me greatly if I know as soon as possible if your student will miss any days. I appreciate the help!
