Dear Parents,

There will be a Scholastic Book Fair from Monday, September 17 to Wednesday, September 19!  This year, our book fairs will take place in the courtyard next to the elementary library.  Come find lots of great books for all your reading needs!  Contact Mr. Jet (eslibrarian@aisch.org) if you have any questions.

Next week, we welcome Dr Richard Villa to our school. Dr Villa will be conducting a series of workshops with teachers on co-teaching. Co-teaching is two (or more) teachers teaching together, sharing responsibility for meeting the learning needs of students, and at the same time, learning from each other. Currently, this model is in place during the 90 minute literacy block in every grade 3 and 5 classroom. Dr Villa will be leading a parent presentation on co-teaching on September 18th from 8:45 to 9:45 and 2:15 to 3:15 in the Hall of Lights, located on the 3rd floor above the Black Box Theater.

The lunch menu for the period October 3rd to October 26th  can be found by clicking on the "Lunch Menu" tab above. Please submit your order by September  26th . I  have heard that some children have received the wrong lunch option, and sometimes more than once. I do apologize for this mistake and the inconvenience this has caused. We are working to fix this glitch. We have noticed that an error sometimes results when a user clicks the "submit" button more than once. Also, on the order form, it is very important to use your child’s “official” name and not a nickname. As we move forward developing our systems and procedures, I ask that all orders be submitted online which will eliminate human data entry errors on our part. If you do not have internet access at home, please know that you are more than welcome to use a computer in our school library. 

Have a great weekend,

Kevin Hall
Elementary School Principal
