We are excited to share that we have a new curricular resource to help us teach English and Language Arts! The resource we are using in our district is called CKLA (Core Knowledge Language Arts) from grades Kindergarten through 5th and Amplify for 6th grade. We will send home paper copies of the “Caregiver Letter” each time we begin a new unit and want to share these with our families each week. We encourage you to use the conversation starters!

Lego League Opportunity - If your 1st to 6th grade student is still interested in LEGO League, signs ups will close on September 6th. If you missed the parent meetings and have questions, please contact Kayla McIntyre at flldirector@cfschools.org and include the school your student attends. 

First Fest is happening next to Lincoln on Wednesday, September 13th! (https://tinyurl.com/3vfaa46u) Our neighbors and partners at First United Methodist Church are holding First Fest. Please consider attending this family friendly event!

Arrival And Dismissal - we are working to help our students safely enter and leave the building. In the morning, we will ask students to arrive between 8:30 and 8:45. They will report to their classrooms or to the cafeteria for breakfast if needed. At the end of the day, we will dismiss students beginning with Kindergarten and moving through 6th grade. Our staff will walk students to the door. Our Kindergarten and 1st grade students will dismiss at their outside classroom doors, second grade will dismiss onto the east playground, third grade will also dismiss onto the east playground, fourth grade will dismiss using our main entrance doors on 8th street and 5th and 6th grade will dismiss using our 7th street doors. We appreciate families making and following consistent after school plans. We will not have supervision for students prior to 8:30 AM each morning. Thank you for helping us support safe morning arrivals and afternoon dismissals!

Main Street Construction - due to construction on Main Street, students will be able to cross at 7th and Main Street. They will mark the area with cones to help! We will communicate any changes!

Wednesday Early Dismissal - we dismiss every Wednesday at 1:50 PM. Please be sure to set a reminder to pick up students promptly. Our staff use this time to collaborate to support learning for our students.

Snacks and Birthday Treats - We are proud to be a Blue Zones school and encourage healthy choices when students bring food for their daily snack. In addition, to support safety this school year when celebrating birthdays, we will ask for families to bring prepackaged items to minimize handling. Thank you!

Thank you for your support! We are looking forward to seeing you next week!

Respectfully,

Ralph Bryant
