R.A.H - READING AT HOME

We have 80 students signed up. The students enjoy checking out a book, taking it home, reading it and then they bring it back the next day and are ready for a new one. This program is for students grades 1 through 4 and if your child hasn’t signed up yet, ask his/her teacher for a form.

Reading is power....And You have the power to help

Reading is everywhere and has meaning. Reading is a resource for life. Reading can be used to solve problems and is relevant to the lives of kids everywhere! Everything that we believe reading is and all that it can do for kids, you can help be a part of too! As an adult Super Reader, you also have the power. As you go about your day, point out to your child that literacy is everywhere!

From your Principal

Happy January and February!!

With the winter holidays over, we at St. Helens are taking this opportunity to dig into the New Year with renewed vigor in working on student achievement and reviewing behavior expectations that will support positive gains in student learning. As we do this, we truly appreciate your efforts to review these with your students as well (please refer to your parent/student handbook you received in September.) It truly takes a team effort to do the best for our students.

I am looking forward to meeting with parents during “Coffee Conversations with Mrs. Robbins” and sharing some data that we have recently received from staff – there are exciting, positive things going on at St. Helens and I can hardly wait to celebrate them with parents in the coming months.

We are still in the grip of winter, so please be sure to listen to the radio or TV in the mornings, especially when there is a chance that the weather may affect school starts. Be sure that your students have coats to stay warm on the way to school and outside at recess. Hats and gloves would be a good idea as well. It is really important that our students stay healthy so that they can stay in school and learn as much as possible.

If you have a talent for listening to students read, helping to tutor in math, or have a knack for putting up bulletin boards or correcting papers, please contact Amber Collins, our CHAMPS volunteer coordinator. We could always use extra hands, eyes, and ears. Thank you for all your support and teamwork!

 

 

Sincerely,
Mary Ann Robbins
