It’s hard to believe it’s already week 7 of the school year. We had a fun-filled week last week with our second annual Back to School BBQ and our first Fun Friday event of the year. Thank you to so many families who came to our barbecue in spite of the weather to spend time getting to know our class family and learn about their child’s classroom, curriculum, and grade level expectations. Shout out to our Family Engagement team AP Jennings, Ms. Murphy, Ms. Saavedra, Ms. Better, Ms. Zinkgraf, Ms. Wagner, Ms. Johnson, and parent Ms. Carroll for planning a special evening for us and the many Langley staff members who grilled and prepared food for our school. On Friday afternoon, our students spent time together as a school family in our first Fun Friday event with relay races on the McKinley track and healthy popsicles.
Conscious Discipline Parent Night
We have our first of two Conscious Discipline parent nights with our consultant Nicole Mercer. Nicole will be traveling from Florida to coach our staff during the day and teach our parents about our social emotional program and some tools to use at home. Please mark your calendar for Wednesday, October 24 from 5:30-7:30pm, child care will be provided starting at 5:15pm so that parents can attend the training.
Field Trips
Our goal this year is to have students attend one field trip per unit of study so we can have students experience their learning in a hands on and meaningful way. If you would like to chaperone, please apply to be a DCPS volunteer which requires fingerprinting and an up to date TB test, more information is on the DCPS website. Our 5th graders will be going on a 3-day overnight trip to Hard Bargain Farm in November funded by our OSSE garden grant with Food Prints.
Upcoming Events- Save the Date!
Wishing you well!
