Dear Parents,
One of my favorite
times of the year is fast approaching! Conferences will be held Wednesday,
October 25 from 1:00-4:00 p.m. and Thursday, October 26 from 1:00 p.m.-6:00
p.m. I will also be offering conferences on Monday, October 16 and Monday,
October 23 from 7:00 a.m.-8:00 a.m. Students will be released at 12:30 p.m. on
October 25 and 26 and there is no school on Friday, October 27. Parents now have the ability to schedule
conference times online. The Conference Scheduler is available starting Monday,
October 9. Scheduling early offers you the opportunity to secure conference
times that work best for your family. Please visit the online scheduler at: www.asdk12.org/parents. You will need go to mix and find my
name and you will find my schedule. If you are not able to use the online
system, please call or email. I look
forward to meeting with you all and celebrating your child’s progress.
Our
next scheduled field trip is on Thursday, November 2! We will be walking to the
Performing Arts Center to see Junior Theater’s “Journey to Oz”. We’ll leave the
school at about 9:15 and return at about 11:30. I have put permission slips in
today’s folder. This should be a fun show.
While
we are on the topic of field trips, I wanted to let you know about the
responsibilities of the students on our outings. Each child has been told this
before we go on each trip, but I wanted you to know my policy as well. Each
child is responsible to follow the instructions of the chaperones and teacher
on every field trip. It is my responsibility to keep the students safe. We
walk, take buses, or drive to all our field trips and it is vital that they are
being safe in all those situations. It is also the responsibility of the child,
to be respectful and kind on the field trip. When we go out in the public, we
are representing Denali Montessori, Room 177, you, and myself. We need to show that Denali Montessori students
are respectful and kind at all times on field trips. If the student isn’t being
safe or listening to the adults and being safe or is not showing respect and
kindness, the student will be required to have his or her parent attend the
next field trip. If the parent can’t attend, the child will have to stay in a
classroom at Denali while we are on the trip. I don’t expect any of this to
happen, but if it does these are the consequences. During our first field trips
of the year to the Apple Store and Pyrah’s Pioneer Peak Farm, the students were
all safe and were all very well behaved and that is what I expect.
The
Denali Fall Carnival is on Friday, October 27 from 4:00-7:00. Please join us
for music, games, and a lot of fun. If you are able to donate a cake for the
cakewalk, it will be greatly appreciated.
The
students were crying and wailing at the end of the day today when I told them
there would be no spelling homework the next two weeks due no school on the in-service
day Friday, October 20 and the following conference week. We will return with
homework on Monday, October 30 and the spelling test on Friday, November 3.
We
have been busy in Room 177 learning about time, money, classification, math
facts and operations, land formations, reading, writing, science experiments,
penmanship, spelling and more! It has been a wonderful week! I love observing
your children and all the growth they are making!
If
you have any questions or concerns, please email me at moyer_craig@asdk12.org or call or
write me a note.
Sincerely,
Craig Moyer
