Hello Crow Wing Families,
Now more than ever, it's important to make sure each child has indoor shoes at school. We're firmly in mud season, and having boots for outside and slippers or shoes for inside helps us keep the floors and cushions clean and prevents soggy foot related crabbiness. Please check in with your student to make sure he or she has indoor shoes at school!
Homework completion rates are poor, especially among fifth and sixth graders. Please support your student in finding a time that works with their busy schedules to accomplish their work. Many students are also turning in work without proper capitalization, punctuation, and spelling - just a reminder that students can check their work with an adult or older sibling to help them clean up these basic errors. We will check in with students at conferences to remind them of their missing homework assignments.
Andrea and I will be out next Wednesday and Thursday, March 7 and 8, to take our sixth graders on their end of upper elementary trip. We will have Christina Beck, our former head of school, and Donna Goodlaxson, an experienced Montessori land school teacher, in to sub for us. If you need anything, please call the front desk or email info@greatriverschool.org during our absence.
