Parent Night Follow Up and Final Wolf Ridge Update

Good Morning Crow Wing Families,

Firstly, I hope you are enjoying your weekends together before our big Wolf Ridge trip.  As you are packing, and using the packing list please keep in mind the weather forecast.  It looks like it will be a lovely brisk fall week in Finland, MN, with some classic autumn moisture.  So, please help your child prepare for wearing layers and have some water-proof layers.

Secondly, thanks again to all of the families who made it to parent night- even in the impressive rainfall.  (And thanks to those families who reached out to connect even though you couldn't make it).  I have attached the main handout from that night.  As we discussed, over the next week I will send out a few emails with more details about classroom volunteering information and birthdays.  I will also be sending out more communication the first time that we have homework (after Wolf Ridge).

Thirdly, thank you in advance for helping your child pack in as compact and labeled a way as possible.  A few pro tips from helping run years and years of these:

1) Duct taping (or labeling in some other classier way) the student's first name, last name, and homeroom onto ALL luggage and jackets can go a long way in helping your child keep track of their things and stay happy and warm.

2) Students who bring a laundry bag or garbage bag for wet/soiled clothes protect their clean clothes from getting soiled in their suitcases.

3) Students are permitted to have a small bag on the bus (with water bottle, book(s), non-digital bus game, notebook/pen, and snack for our stop), please help them separate those BEFORE getting to school, and remember to label those things as well.

4) I almost forgot!  Please label everything.

Also, please help your child notice the signs as you pull in to drop off, their are a lot of moving pieces, and students should go to their assigned location right away.

So excited! See you at 7:30 AM tomorrow! 

Peace,

Matt B

PS- If your child has any final questions or anxieties- feel free to email them to me, and I will check my email tonight after I put my girls down, and reply.
