Good Evening Bear Family - What a great week we had this past week with our Trunk or Treat event. We were so happy to see so many of you participate. You should have received your student’s Report Card on Friday when they came home. Please remember that students must be passing their subjects with a 3 or higher in grades K-2, as well as 60 and above for Grades 3-5. Attendance Matters - students cannot miss more than 85% of the school year to be promoted, as well as the passing subjects. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact your student’s teacher, or myself. This week, we have a lot of great things going on. Monday night, we have our Zaxby’s Spirit Night in Rocky Mount to support our Music Program. A portion of what is bought will go towards the Music Program at Englewood. This event is from 5-8 pm. Tuesday and Wednesday, our 3rd - 5th graders will take their NC-Check Ins for Reading and Math. On Thursday, we have our PBIS Celebration for the 1st Nine Weeks. We also have a Car Wash Fundraiser that will begin on Thursday for the Music Program. On Friday, our 3rd graders will be going to Briley’s Farm. Lastly, students that are submitting drawings for the NCPS Holiday Cards are due on Friday. The Square One Art Fundraiser is due on November 11 for all online orders. Over the next few weeks, students in grades 4 and 5 will be trained on utilizing the Say Something Anonymous Reporting System. The system allows students and staff to anonymously report safety concerns to a national multilingual crisis center that is staffed 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. Students will learn how to use the system and how to spot signs of at-risk behaviors, potential violence and other safety concerns that should be reported. Submitted tips are received by a national multilingual crisis center, then sent to local school leaders and, when necessary, to local 911 centers for immediate response. This system gives our students and staff an additional tool to prevent acts of violence and provide assistance to students in crisis. Say Something is intended to be used by students in grades 4-12, and by staff, and is currently utilized by our middle and high schools. More than 5,000 schools nationwide are using this program, which is offered by Sandy Hook Promise, a national nonprofit organization. Here are our events for the month of October/November: November 4 - Zaxby’s Spirit Night in Rocky Mount for the Music Program November 5 - 6 NC Check Ins - Reading and Math Benchmarks for Grades 3-5 November 7 - Music Car Wash Fundraiser Begins and our PBIS Glow Party for T1 Grading Period November 8 - NCPS Holiday Card Submissions are Due 3rd Grade Field Trip to Briley’s Farm November 11 - Veterans Day - Holiday November 12 - Boys Basketball Tryouts November 13 - Native American Storytellers for Grades K-2 November 13 - Girls Basketball Tryouts November 14 - Boys Basketball Tryouts November 15 - Girls Basketball Tryouts November 18 - Fall Pictures Make up Day November 20 - Native American Assembly for Grades 3 - 5 November 27 - 29 Thanksgiving Break - No School for Students and Staff We hope that you have a great rest of your weekend.
