Hi Everyone,
We celebrated Veteran's Day at school today. Please ask your child about it! Veterans came to speak with us about their time in the service, and we celebrated them with our own Pinebrook Veteran's Day parade. My husband, Leo, served for 22 years. As a teacher and as the wife of a veteran, I am so thankful to our Pinebrook community for honoring these veterans. Please take a moment today to be thankful for the veterans who keep our country the Land of the Free.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT REPORT CARDS:
Quarter 1 report cards will go home Wednesday, November 15th. Please note this important change to our report card delivery system: Paper report cards will NOT be issued. Your child's report card will be available for electronic viewing by logging into your ParentVue account.
Last night, Mr. Theissen sent an extremely detailed email about this change to the entire Pinebrook community. This email includes all the directions you need to access your child's report card. If you do NOT have a ParentVue account, you MUST contact Mrs. Sciortino in our school office at 703-957-4325 to obtain an authorization key. I apologize in advance, but I am NOT able to help you with obtaining or accessing your ParentVue account. You must go through Mrs. Sciortino.
American Education Week:
I hope you will join us in our classroom Thursday, November 16th from 10:45 - 11:30 am to celebrate American Education Week. Students will present the ABC's of Thanksgiving. Our lunch is immediately following the ABC's of Thanksgiving, and you may stay to have lunch with your child. Our lunch is from 11:32 - 12:02. If you're staying for lunch, please plan to say goodbye to your child in the cafeteria at the end of our lunch period. Our regular instructional day will resume right after lunch. I sent home specific information about American Education Week, including a copy of your child's speaking part(s), in last week's Thursday folder. Please review this information. Please send back the form to let me know if you're staying for lunch, and please help your child practice reading his/her speaking part with a clear, confident voice.
Focus Areas for the Coming Week:
