Good Evening Wahoos, This week we are continuing with our fun December dress up days. Monday is wear the Grinch or something green, Tuesday is wear red and white like a candy cane, Wednesday is wacky tacky holiday attire, Thursday is Holiday warmth (wear flannel and/or a scarf), and Friday is wear your favorite WARM pajamas and we will watch the Polar Express while indulging in hot chocolate to celebrate and amazing first semester. This Thursday is our Dual Language students’ performance at 1:00 in the multi-purpose room. If your child has Senora Andrea, Senor Ciro, or Senora Luz we hope to see you this Thursday at 1pm. Last but most importantly… parents, in light of North Carolina's recent amendment to the Parents' Bill of Rights - Senate Bill 49 we have to update our Model Release forms. Effective January 1, 2024, we are transitioning from an 'OPT-OUT' to an 'OPT-IN' policy for these forms. In the Rooms App, there has been a newly added a classroom labeled with your child's school name and grade level. Within this classroom, navigate to the "Material" section and select it. Here, you'll find a folder titled "Mandatory." Inside this folder, there's an important link named "Updated Model Release Form." This link leads to the latest version of the model release form, which you'll need to complete to opt your child in. This means we will need your explicit consent for your child's participation in activities where their photos may be taken and used in school materials such as yearbooks, Facebook posts, and other educational or promotional content. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact the school. I hope everyone has an amazing weekend!
