Weekly Messages for Week of 12/9/19

Good afternoon Cub families,

This is Mrs. Sare calling with our messages for the upcoming week. Our Candy Cane Lane shop is still open the first half of this week and our last few classes will be shopping. If your child would like to participate please be sure you have completed the needed information on their money envelope.

Although we are busy learning in our classrooms it is also time to have a little bit of fun! This week there will be two special opportunities for the students to join our staff in celebrating the holidays. On Wednesday, our students are welcome to wear holiday themed socks to school. On Friday, we will be participating in a fundraiser for our school's Relay for Life Team. To do this, we are allowing students to wear a holiday themed hat or headband to school for one dollar. Students will bring in their dollar to their homeroom teacher Friday morning if they are wearing a hat or headband! This allows us to have some fun while supporting a great cause. On both days, students will still be expected to be in school uniform.

DCE will continue to have school all this week and the following week with our last day for students being December 20th. During that last week of school before winter break we will be allowing students to participate in two more dress up days and wanted to give you some preparation time! On Thursday, December 19th, students will be allowed to wear a green t-shirt or Grinch shirt to school as we will be hosting a Grinch Day and will be working throughout the day to spread kindness to others. On this day students still need to wear uniform bottoms. On Friday, December 20th, our students can stay nice and cozy and wear their pajamas to school!

We are looking forward to the upcoming two weeks before break. Even though this is a busy time of year, please help us keep school attendance a priority. Our goal is to remain above 96% average daily attendance and during the month of November we slipped quite a bit below that goal. Keeping our students in school all day keeps them in routine and shows them just how much we value school and learning. Of course, we do understand that some circumstances are unique and unavoidable.

I hope that you have a great rest of your Sunday afternoon with your family. I am looking forward to seeing our ready, responsible, and respectful Cubs at school bright and early tomorrow morning!
