Happy New Year! I hope you had an enjoyable and relaxing Winter Break with family and friends. I would like to congratulate our 4th and 5th grade chorus members for an outstanding Winter Chorus Performance. It was wonderful to see so many people from the Ashburton community attend this special performance in December.
As we end the holiday season and begin 2010, it is important for students to continue to stay engaged and focused on learning. It is so important to be on time for school each and every day of the school year. It is the expectation for all students to be in class and ready for learning by 8:50 a.m. If you find that traffic is heavy during the winter months, please allow extra time in your schedule to ensure that you are at school on time.
It is that time of year when the weather can be difficult to predict. Please listen to the radio or television for school delays and closings. (See the next page for information about closings.) Also, students need to remember to dress appropriately for the weather so they are comfortable for outdoor recess by wearing coats, scarves, gloves, and hats. It is our goal to have outdoor recess as much as possible in order to allow students to be engaged in physical activities with peers.
We understand that everyone has a busy and hectic schedule, but it is very important that all visitors maintain a safe driving speed when entering and exiting school property. Safety is our number one priority at Ashburton and we are asking all visitors to maintain a safe speed when dropping off and/or picking up children. Your cooperation is greatly appreciated in order to maintain a safe school environment.
Please note that we are rescheduling Family Science Night from the February 2nd PTA meeting to the April 7th meeting. This will allow students to have more of an opportunity for science investigations. I look forward to seeing you at many of the January events!
Sincerely,
Charlene Eroh
