Dear Parents:
Happy New Year! Today marks 81 days of school, and we have two weeks left before
completing our 1st semester for this school year. Can you believe how time moves so rapidly?
I want you to know that our school actions exemplify our title of a National School of
Character. We collected over 750 pounds of food in November, for the food pantry for Loaves
and Fishes located at Ada Jenkins in Davidson, North Carolina. We collected over 200 toys
for the Salvation Army Toy Drive in December. We were able to help about 70 children again
this year to have a Merry Christmas. These acts of kindness could not be possible without
your support and your willingness to teach your children about giving to others.
You received the 2013-2014 Parent Input for Student Placement form yesterday in your child’s
Blue Folder. If you wish to provide us information that would be helpful to our placing your
child in a classroom next year, you will need to complete the form and send back to your
child’s teacher by Friday, February 22, 2013.
We received lots of feedback regarding the new K-2 Report Card for this school year. Please
join us Thursday, January 17th, at 6:00 p.m., in our Media Center to understand and dive
deeper with the new K-2 report card. This workshop will increase your understanding of the
new report card, allow you to ask questions, and learn how to help your child meet his or her
target goals identified from the Common Core State Standards and Essential Standards.
The Principal’s Coffee for January will focus on 5th grade students who will be attending Bailey
Middle School in 2013-2014 for 6th grade. Mr. Chad Thomas, Principal of Bailey Middle
School, will be our guest speaker, and will discuss registration, classes, electives, and parent
concerns. In addition, our sister school, J. V. Washam Elementary parents will be attending
the Principal’s Coffee scheduled for Wednesday, January 16, at 9:00 a.m., at Just Baked
Cupcakes and Coffee House.
We are continuing to keep the Sandy Hook Elementary School in our prayers. Thank-you for
your support with the safety measures that were put in place the last of week of school before
our winter break. Remember, parents who want to walk their child to class, must sign-in at the
front office and put on a visitor’s badge. Our walkers and car riders must enter through the
front entrance doors from Catawba Avenue.
