Conference Schedules

Please make sure that you give a copy of your conference schedule to the office as soon as possible.  Hopefully by Monday for parents that forget or misplace time and date.

Wednesday Evening Conferences

Our wonderful PTA will be providing a Baked Potato Bar from 5:00 to 6:00.

Nurse’s Office Update

We have a nurse at Spinning on Tuesday and a health assistant on Friday.  On average we see about 15 students a day for various reasons, many that we have rest and return to class.  Our resources are limited to Band-Aids, ice pack, water, rest, and/or a call home.  Please remember to have student rest head on desk for ten minutes unless they are throwing up or bleeding.  Right after recess is when we see the most traffic and hope that teachers would use the same “10 minute rule” before sending to the office.  We appreciate your support with remembering that the “first aid” boxes in your classroom and waiting period. 

 

Donations

Over the last few months, we have received donations of school supplies, snacks, clothing items, and other helpful assistance from a variety of groups and families.  Walmart (Lakewood), St. Francis House, Peace Lutheran Church, Community in Schools, and some of our Spinning Families have been very supportive of our needs and wanted you to know.  Our Leadership students have created “Thank You” cards for us to send to some of them. 

 

Speaking of donations

We have some snacks in the office for students that have not received breakfast and/or need a little extra in their lunch or an afterschool snack. 

 

Translation
Did you know that we are able to have report cards, newsletters, and other important information translated for our families that need their information in a different language?  There is a bit of a turnaround time, however, send it to me in an attachment and I forward it to be translated and return it to you when I have received it back.
 

Volunteers

Another reminder that the current list of Spinning volunteers can be found on the Y drive or you can chat with your favorite volunteer coordinator.  If you have someone that is interested and you do not see them on the list, please ask.
 

Health Screening

Vision, Hearing and other screening will occur for K,1,2,3 and 5^th grade on 10/29.  Schedule is in the staff lounge.
