Dear Parents: This week will be bringing in some true Fall weather. Be sure your child has an extra sweater or sweatshirt at school in case it gets chilly. We do go outside unless it is raining or temperatures are extremely cold and windy.
We are welcoming Mrs. Debra Baucom to our Fourth Grade team. She is no stranger to Blair...her children have gone to Blair and she has been a long-term substitute here several times. We are sorry to see Mrs. Lagas-Rivera leave, but her reasoning will help her and her family make some positive life-style changes. We wish her and Simon good luck and good learning ahead.
This week brings us closer to holiday season activities. We abide by the "separation of state and church" ideals...therefore, we do not "party"...but we "celebrate" the Fall, the Winter and the Spring hlidays. We will have a Fall celebration in classrooms around the 28th of October, but we will not be wearing costumes, will not be wearing masks nor coloring hair or doing anything that will distract from the learning of your child or others.
Please remember your students have a 1/2 day of school on the 29th of October. Dismissal is at 12:00 noon. Please send us a note in writing if your child is going home a different way that day. Also, please be home early to welcome your child home. Bus route times will differ, so expect your child between 12:15-12:30 depending on when your child gets off the bus. We will feed all students lunch before they go home (It is the law). Teachers will be using the afternoon time for required staff development that fits with their Individual Growth Plans. There is no school for students on October 30th. Enjoy the long weekend.
Things to remember this week:
Grade 1 has a FireMen visit Monday morning from 8:30-9:30 a.m.
Makeup Picture Day is on Wednesday.
Mrs. Viola's class does a Tarheels trip on Wednesday.
Have a wonderful week...
