The Stallion Stampede
Janie Stark Elementary Parent Newsletter
March 17, 2024
Dear Stallion families,
I hope you all had a wonderful Spring Break with your sweet children! The weather was beautiful and definitely made me excited for the rest of Spring this semester.
We are looking forward to welcoming our Stallions back tomorrow by 7:40 am. Please remember that students are expected to be in class by 7:40 am each day, so help your child by ensuring they are dropped off each morning before the bell so they are not tardy.
Being on time each day helps set your child up for success. Pack lunches, lay out clothes for the day, and put backpacks by the door the night before. Being prepared is one way to ensure a smooth and successful start to the school day for your child!
To the BEST of days,
Mrs. Putman
Tutoring Begins this Week!
If your child was invited to participate in after school tutoring, it begins this week on Tuesday. Tutoring is from 3:15-4:00 pm each day. Please make sure your child remembers and knows how they are getting home.
Tutoring ends promptly at 4:00 pm. Please make sure your child is picked up on time. After 4:05 pm, if your child is not picked up, they will have to be signed out from the office. If your child is picked up late two or more times, your child will no longer be able to attend tutoring. Thank you for your help and for picking up your child on time.
Author Visit
We are pleased to announce that Janie Stark Elementary will host another author visit this spring. Nancy Churnin is an award winning author who writes picture book biographies. Nancy Churnin focuses her books on people who have made the world a better place and inspire children to be heroes and heroines, too. All students will have the opportunity to meet and learn from Nancy Churnin on May 7th. If you are interested in purchasing a keepsake book to be signed by the author, please see the attached book order form, which is available in both English and Spanish. (The library will also make print copies available.) The deadline to purchase the books is April 8th. We are grateful for this special learning opportunity!
Sincerely,
Mrs. Smith
Librarian
