Back in Action:
It is great to get back in the building and get the ball rolling again! I certainly hope everyone enjoyed some time with family and friends, as well as, some good weather. It is always good to take some time to relax and recharge the battery! I know that myself and the rest of the Split Rock staff is fired up and ready to finish strong! We will focus on making the most out of the next two months, providing quality instruction and learning experiences for all students, so we can continue "to ensure that each student attains the knowledge, skills and attitudes necessary, not only for lifelong learning, but also for becoming a cooperative, self-directed, productive, caring citizen." With that being said, it is a very busy time of year, with many different events occurring. Here is a look ahead as to what to expect at Split Rock Elementary!
Positivity Project:
This week's character trait is Appreciation of Beauty and Excellence. Be sure to take a step back and appreciate all that's around and not just nature's beauty but yet, someone else's hard work and excellence. By doing so we are promoting positive emotions within and a connectivity to the world around us.
Raptor System:
This is a friendly reminder that Split Rock Elementary has begun to implement the Raptor Visiting Management System. Visitors will be expected to provide photo identification when they visit the building and plan to go beyond the main office. The West Genesee Central School District has distributed a letter home to families that provided all the pertinent information in regards to the system and its protocols. Please be sure to review and fully understand the process as we are working to ensure the safety of all students and staff during school hours.
Gertrude Hawk Fundraiser:
There are still a few orders that are at the school and need to be picked up. If you placed an order and have yet to do so, please contact the school and/or a PTO member to pick up your order. This would be greatly appreciated!
Spring Is In The Air:
It is the time of year where there will be many different activities occurring both inside and outside of the classroom. With that, there are times where students express a great deal of excitement and might lose focus on school expectations and safety. We will be revisiting this consistently throughout the remainder of the year. Help us, help you and your child, by reviewing the schoolwide expectations as we want to make sure we are being Respectful, Responsible and Safe. Conversations around the dinner table and/or bedtime would go a long way ensuring everyone is meeting expectations, so we are able to fully enjoy the last two months school.
