Hi Yealey Families,

It's been a great week at school. This week we have worked on establishing routines and teaching procedures.  Our preschool students started classes this week and it's been great to see our youngest students back in the classroom.  We began our Leader In Me lessons - so ask your child about being proactive.  I'm very excited to hear that 14 families have signed up for the Family Challenge.  That is such a great way for families to have fun together and learn about the 7 habits we are teaching here. 

Mr. Rice has been working hard to get Bloomz up and running for the school.  Please watch for information from your teacher about this if you're not already signed up. The students are responding very well to earning points and I am very happy with the positive behaviors we have seen.  

I hope to see you tonight at the PTA Playground Party.  It is always a fun event and it looks like the rain will be gone by then.  

I hope you all enjoy the weekend - take time with family and friends!

Mrs. Turner

  

 Yealey Families,

What a great start to the 2022-2023 school year! It was so great to see everyone back and catch up with all my Bobcats.  I couldn't be more impressed with the leadership I have already seen from our students who are returning.  Walking the building yesterday and being in classrooms really felt like they had been here for weeks already.  

Everyone needs to be on the lookout for information coming home about our new schoolwide communication tool, Bloomz.  It is very important that each family sign up.  This tool has the ability to translate into multiple languages and can be used by administration and teachers. We will be using it as our main method of communication.  

There is also information in the agenda book about how this tool will help us transition away from the clip chart for behavior . Please be sure to read the handbook that is in the front of the agenda book and sign the necessary papers.  These need to be returned to the homeroom teachers as soon as possible. 

Special thanks to the parents who surprised us with the beautiful chalk drawings.  I really appreciate them and especially love the messages.  Also, thank you to our flower fairy who delivered again.  The arrangement is beautiful and certainly brightened our first day.

I hope everyone has a great weekend! See you next week for our first full week of school.

Mrs. Turner
