5th Grade Camp Behavior Policy

Monday, January 12th, 2015

Dear Parents,

As you already know students will earn the opportunity to participate in an outdoor camping experience this school year on May 7-8 at Camp Copneconic. It is a wonderful opportunity to spend time with their fellow classmates and teachers while breathing in the fresh air and participating in outdoor learning activities. We look forward to camp each and every year!

Students earn the privilege to attend camp by following the high fives, and working hard during the school year. Unfortunately, students who choose to continually not follow the high fives and receive three major office referrals, beginning Friday, January 16, will lose their privilege to stay over night, and will need to be picked up after dinner and may come back the next morning.

Any student receiving four office referrals will have a 2 day out of school suspension to be served on the days of camp, Thursday and Friday. Teachers reserve the right to not take a student if there is valid concern with behavior in an outdoor setting.

Our hope is that every student will earn the right to go and not miss out on this wonderful experience. We ask for support in talking to your child about the importance of following the high fives.

Thank you for your support,

Rebecca Drake
Chris Howd
David Weiss

Scrip starts again Monday

Wednesday, October 29th, 2014

From the McGrath Partnership:

The Scrip program will be starting up again Monday, November 3rd and orders will need to be submitted that morning. Scrip is a great way to make money towards student’s individual field trip accounts. Scrip is simply a term that means “substitute money.” At McGrath, Scrip fundraising is a no-selling program that allows families to raise money directly for their student by using gift cards, or scrip, to pay for everyday purchases. More information on Scrip can be found on McGrath’s webpage – click the Scrip tab at the top of the page.

Box Tops Contest and Coordinator

Friday, October 3rd, 2014

McGrath is having a Box Tops contest from October 6-17. It’s free money for our school. So get clipping and send them in!

Also, we are looking for a parent or family member that could help coordinate the contest for our classroom. This may involve collecting our stash, counting, or other Box Toppish skills that you can use to make our school a better place!

Let me know if you can help with our class contest as the coordinator.
