MOUND VIEW ELEMENTARY
“A Positive Place for Kids”
Parent Newsletter, Week of April 23
Welcome Back
Welcome back from the long weekend! We are looking forward to the final push to the end of the year. Encourage your child to finish strong!
Grandparent’s Day
May 3 will be Mound View’s annual “Grandparent’s Day.” We invite all grandparents to visit our school and share some time with their grandchildren. A short program is scheduled and grandparents will have the opportunity to view the numerous individual projects created by the students. Refreshments will be served starting at 1:00 pm with the program at 1:15 pm. We will be asking the students to keep the independent projects at school until the end of the day so all get a chance to see them. Projects can be picked up Monday, May 6 if needed. If you plan on having your child go home with a grandparent, we must have a permission slip on file. Forms will be coming home.
We will again have a shuttle bus transporting from the Shepherd of the Hill Church. Please let any grandparents know about this option for parking. This seems to have worked well in the past. The bus will start picking up at noon in front of the church.
We are in need of some volunteers to help prepare and serve refreshments during Grandparent’s Day. If you can help out that afternoon, please contact the office!
Independent Projects
We are looking forward to the Independent Projects being displayed for Grandparent’s Day. A reminder that the projects should come to school on Thursday before Grandparent’s Day and stay until Monday. The school will be open into the early evening on Thursday if you need to bring the project in after school.
Carnival Volunteers
The annual Carnival always is a great time for the students and highlight of the year. We are excited to be holding it on May 10! Please note the volunteer information that came home and sign up for a time! All directions will be provided for the games and it will be easy for the volunteers. The success of the Carnival depends on the parent volunteers!
4K and 5K Kindergarten
We finished up our visitations for 4K and 5K last week. If you know of a neighbor or friend who has a child who is planning on attending 4-year-old-kindergarten or regular kindergarten next year, please encourage them to contact the school. We would like to firm up our enrollment for the upcoming school year. Thanks!
Summer School
Parents should have received a schedule of summer opportunities offered by the school district. Please consider taking advantage of these opportunities by registering your child for one, or all, of the offerings. If you need more information, please contact the Mound View office.
