Hello Ellen Hopkins Families!
Our Great Literacy Expedition continues! Help us get a pledge from all 50 states! Look for more details on our Ellen Hopkins Read A Thon as we celebrate Read Across America this month. Attached is the Read Across America Calendar and you find out more in our monthly newsletter which is attached below!
We are almost to our goal with just a few days left! Let's go Team Hopkins! 📚🎉🧡
Success Tip of The Week: 📚 What is Phonological Awareness: Check out this video explains more about phonological awareness and the role it plays in reading as well as how you can support your reader!
Things to Note:
Reminder: No School on Friday, April 3.
Reporting Absences: Please report absences to the front office before 9 am. You can call in and leave a message or enter the absence in the Powerschool Parent Portal. Entering by 9 am helps us know who is out and it saves you from our automated call and messages. Thanks for your help with this!
Winter Gear: Reminder that students still need winter gear as we go through this transitional time. Please make sure students have what they need to enjoy outdoor recess! Some days this may mean the whole set of gear and other days it may mean boots, hats and gloves. This is also a great time to give all gear a good wash and to check to make sure your child's gear is labeled with their first and last names.
Yearbooks: Order now! Deadline is April 3- after that date, there is no opportunity to order! Get those orders in NOW! Feel free to place your yearbook order now using this easy online link. 📕
Music Programs: We have several music Programs on Thursday, April 2nd. Please be mindful about parking legally when you enter the lot. Please do not block entrance or exits and be mindful of others. Come early to avoid missing out on parking spots and to get a good seat in the gym.
