December 2017

12/1/2017

​Dear Parents,
 
I am not sure how we managed to get to December already, but here we are!!  As we all know, December is a packed month with lots of things to celebrate!!
Picture
​We would like to thank you for all of your generous donations during the month of November for the Bag Brigade collection for the Lt. Dennis W. Zilinski II Fund, which will send our donations overseas to United States troops!  Your kindness will go a long way in helping us send some cheer to our troops over seas!
If you were unable to join us for the Kindness Brigade, it is really an experience that will last forever and something you might want to put on your calendars for next year! 
Picture
​We hope you are planning on joining the Point Road Chorus at the Little Silver Tree Lighting on Sunday, December 3rd  at 4:00 PM!  We are hoping that this will be a way for you get into the holiday spirit!  
Picture
​We also invite you to join us for our Annual Winter Concert on Thursday, December 7th at 7:00 PM in the gym!
Picture
​Please plan on joining us at the PTO Barnes and Noble Book Fair on Friday, December 8th!  We will have many guest readers, students, teachers, principals and more!  Some of the Markham Place musical ensembles will also be playing.  Come out for some fun, holiday shopping and give your support to the PTO!   All proceeds will be donated to the Media Centers in both schools.
Picture
​The weather sure has been hard to predict, one day it is almost 70 degrees and the next day 30 degrees!  Needless to say, the students are having a difficult time knowing how to dress. It is important for your child to come to school dressed to spend 30-60 minutes outside.  Coats, hats, and gloves should become standard for the next few months. PLEASE put your child’s name on these items, our Lost and Found keeps growing!When you are at Point Road, please feel free to look around and see if you can spot anything that looks familiar.
Picture
​We continue to practice different drills so that the students will feel secure that they know what to do in the event of an emergency.  As part of our School Safety Plan, we have completed the traditional fire drill, we have done an alternate route fire drill, a severe weather drill, an evacuation drill and a bomb scare.  As the year continues, we will have a lockdown drill, a whole school fire drill from the gym, and, a building containment drill additional intruder drills as well as a full school evacuation to St. John’s.  The children should be able explain the different types of drills that we are doing as well as the purpose for the different types of drills.  Our main goal is the safety of all of our students.
Picture
Progress reports will be available on Friday, December 15th, please be sure to access the Parent Portal to view this mid- marking period report.

​
Picture
​The teachers are eagerly awaiting the Annual PTO Holiday Cookie exchange scheduled for December 15th!  This is just one of the many wonderful activities sponsored by the PTO.
Picture
​Our last day of school will be on Friday, December 22nd, it will be a SHORT day of school.  
Picture
Our school motto for our winter!!!  Time to play in the snow and have some fun!
Picture
 
School re-opens on Tuesday, January 2nd!
 
We would like to take this opportunity to thank all of the parent organizations and individual parents that continually work so hard to support all of the many components of our educational program.Please plan on joining us during one or more of the exciting events we have planned or just stop after school or on the weekend for a swing on the playground! 
​
                         Sincerely,
