This week, some of the message is written by our Principal for the Day, Lili, from Mrs. Keller's class!
A Look Back...
Celebrations from Principal Lili!
- In P.E. class today I got to see the pacer. One boy got all the way up to 80!
- Kids in classes were taking tests, doing Daily 5 rotations, working on Mother's Day presents, reading, writing, and working on iPads and iTouches. I got to choose one class to recognize for demonstrating expected Cougar 5 behaviors. It was hard to pick just one class because they were all showing expected behaviors! I chose Miss Koldon's class to celebrate because they were working quietly and following directions really well.
- In music class they were learning the difference between major and miner key.
- I got to see Orchestra practice. It was really really good.they just flowed with the music together!
ABC Countdown Is in Full Swing! ~ Two days really stood out this week; Flip Day and Game Day! Flip Day was fun because kids got to give out Cougar Paws to teachers and staff that they wanted to thank. The teachers and staff felt very appreciated on this day! On Game Day kids got to play games in their class for part of the day. Don't forget to look at the calendar for the fun plans next week.
A Look Ahead...
On the weekend of May 11 & 12, 2013 the District 96 lawn treatment provider Zenith
Landscape Group will treat grass areas adjacent to all District buildings. Signs will
be posted to indicate that the treatments have been applied. In the event of rain, the
applications will occur on the following weekend, May 18 & 19, 2013.
Our tardies are exceedingly numerous, and your efforts to get students here before 8:20 are greatly appreciated. If students are late, please "buzz" into the building and then the office with your child to sign-in.
There will be no change to procedures currently followed for building access for after-school clubs and athletic events.
Implementing the new security system from May 6th through the end of the current school year will allow us to evaluate procedures and consider additional measures available through a second phase of security enhancements.
Please donate for the Student Council orphanage project!
We have filled up on tape and rice but
still need stickers, empty paper towel rolls, & aluminum foil.
Thank you Club House for the colored tape. Thank you also to the family who left the giant bag of rice! Please drop off the listed supplies in the art room any time or leave at the office.

Beginning Monday, May 6 New Security Procedure for Entering the Building During the School Day and at Dismissal ~ District staff must “buzz” twice to allow entry to a person coming to the building during the school day. After asking the individual’s name and reason for visiting the building, the first “buzz” gives him or her access to the locked vestibule area. A second "buzz"–and additional conversation with District 96 staff, as needed–is then required before the visitor gains access to the building office.
