April 7

Dear Fireside Families,

It's been a fun-filled week of learning, including our PARCC testing! So far it's going smoothly and we really appreciate parents efforts to arrange doctor's appointments and vacations around testing as make-up schedules are a bit tricky. 

Thanks to David Summers for visiting Kinder Enrichment and inspiring our youngsters about space exploration. He brought in a REAL tip of a rocket that students could touch, and shared a brief video of a rocket blasting off complete with a count-down. This was part of a unit in KE on exploring space-planets, stars, comets, and our solar system. We sure value our amazing Kinder Enrichment programming and all the hands-on learning opportunities provided by Ms. Contini and Marilyn. We also value our parents as partners in learning by sharing their background and expertise with students!

With the weather warming up, we encourage our families to bike or walk to school this month and be sure to mark your calendars for our Bike to School Day on April 19th. Please keep in mind, dogs should not be on school grounds, this includes the playground. 

School Accountability Committee will be meeting next week. Take a peek at our agenda: April SAC  One of the discussion topics will be Individualized Education Plans. All are welcome to attend!   

Community opportunity: Mondarch HS will be hosting a screening of Beyond Measure, the final film in the Innovation in Education Film Series on Thursday, April 20th at Monarch HS. Click here for more information and to RSVP to the film that starts at 6 PM.

As always, thank you for your partnership in learning!
