Un Mensaje del Principal.

Dear Weatherbee Families:

Another year has came and gone and Weather-

bee Elementary finished off the month of December with

some outstanding events. The Holiday Store, and Pan-

cake Breakfast with Santa ( hosted by our wonderful

PTO) along with our 5th grade chorus performing during

the FSA/i-Ready Family Night helped to bring our families

together and share in the holiday spirit.

The end of 2017 was a big success and leads us

into 2018 where the start of the New Year is always excit-

ing. I know many of the New Year’s Resolutions you

made will help your child be successful in school. If you

didn’t make any, or would like to add a couple more, here

are a few that will really make a difference for your child.

Participate in school activities.

Work with your child on his or her school work. Build on

your child’s strengths and try to improve upon his or her

weaknesses.

Know what is going on at school. Always read the par-

ent newsletter and like important papers that come

home, and visit our Weatherbee Facebook page.

Communicate with your child’s teacher and school.

Talk to the teacher and stay informed about his or her

progress.

Discuss the importance of school with your child. Show

a genuine concern about what is going on and the ac-

tivities your child is participating in.

Provide your child an opportunity to be working on our

online I– Ready program. See details inside.

Read with your child or make sure they read every

night.

Adding these few New Year’s Resolutions will go a long

way in making your child’s school year a lot more suc-

cessful. All of us at Weatherbee Elementary wish you and

your family a joyous New Year.

Sincerely,

Michael Hitsman Kimberly Cain

Estimadas Familias de Weatherbee:

Un nuevo año a llegado y la Elemental Weather-

bee a terminado el mes de diciembre con algunos eventos

sobresalientes. La tienda de regalos, y el desayuno de

panqueques con Santa (organizado por nuestro maravillo-

so PTO) junto con nuestro coro de 5to grado actuando

durante la noche familiar de FSA / i-Ready ayudó a

reunir a nuestras familias y compartir el espíritu

navideño.

El fin del año de 2017 fue uno de gran éxito y nos

encamina a un emocionante comienzo de un nuevo año

.Sé que muchas de las resoluciones de año nuevo serán

para ayudar a su hija a tener éxito en la escuela. Si no

han hecho ninguna, o le gustaría agregar algunas más,

aquí están algunas sugerencias que realmente harán una

diferencia para su hija:

Participar en las actividades escolares.

Trabajar con su hijo en su trabajo escolar. Reforzar las

fortalezas de su hija y ayudarlo a mejorar sus

debilidades.

Saber lo que está sucediendo en la escuela. Siempre

leer el boletín de padres, documentos importantes que

se envían a la casa y visitar nuestra página de

Weatherbee en Facebook.

Mantenerse en comunicación con el maestro y la

escuela de su hija para mantenerse informado sobre

su progreso.

Discutir la importancia de la escuela con su hija.

Mostrar un interés genuino sobre lo que está

sucediendo en la escuela y de las actividades en que

su hija está participando.

Proporcionar al niño la oportunidad de utilizar el nuevo

programa en línea i-Ready . Vea detalles adentro .

Lea con su niño y/o asegúrese de que lean todas las

noches.

Añadiendo estas sugerencias para sus resoluciones de

año nuevo estará encaminando a su hija a ser mas éxito

durante el año escolar. Todos nosotros en la escuela

feliz año nuevo.

Sinceramente,

FSA/ i-Ready Family Night

Weatherbee hosted FSA/ i-Ready Family Night on Thursday,

December 14th, 2017. It was a huge success! We had a dinner

and a show. Our guests enjoyed a delicious pasta dinner with

red sauce, salad, rolls, cookies, and Iced-Tea/Lemonade; while

our 5th Grade perform holiday music. Parents/Guardians

learned about important assessments and ways to support

learning at home! The night was filled with exciting activities as

students danced the night away, painted rocks, customized

fabulous book marks, and played with Tangrams. The night

ended with a Raffle and giveaways. Thank you to those that

attended. Our students are going to ROCK FSA’s this year!
