Monthly Attendance Report Get Excited When school resumes in January, we will be in our new classrooms!!! Our arrival will remain the same. The students are to be brought to the gym to meet before we dismiss for class. We dismiss from the gym at 8 am and around 12:15 pm. Fuzzy Update Birthdays After Christmas the fuzzy goal will be raised to 7 fuzzies. Students can earn fuzzies for being good and are rewarded with fuzzies for doing things without being asked like: saying nice things to a classmate, being a good friend, sharing, helping a friend clean up, using their manners, etc. Don’t forget to read every night and color in the calendar behind the goal sheet. We have had 5 kids already earn a Book It for a Free personal pan pizza. No December Birthdays The morning class will start attending class on Fridays starting January 5th. Class times will be from 9:10 am to 12:10 pm. Breakfast is still available in the mornings. We will provide snacks for snack time but we do not provide lunch.
