UPCOMING INFORMATION

Families of Room 31 -
Just a few reminders -
1.  Tomorrow, Tuesday May 1st is a 1/2 day.  Dismissal begins at 12:10.

2.  SELCO permission slips are due by Thursday, May 3rd.

3.  MUSIC  - Concert forms were sent home on Friday.  Please complete these and send them back with your child by WEDNESDAY, May 2nd.  Our music teacher needs to know whom is planning on attending the concert that is happening on Wednesday evening May 23rd.

4.  HEALTH POSTERS - Mrs. Current, our health teacher, assigned a health poster that the students need to complete and turn in by Friday.  She gave them the paper and the topic.  Some students have already handed their colored poster in.  Please check with your child to see if they need to complete theirs.

5.  SOCIAL STUDIES - WEST MAP QUIZ - Don't for get the Friday, May 4th the students will take their WEST MAP QUIZ.  They need know the states, land forms and waterways.  Capitals are a bonus.

6.  MATH MCAS - Students from our class and Mrs. Weagle's class will be taking their MATH MCAS on Thursday, May 10th and Friday, May 11th.  We will send reminders home about snack, water bottles and timely arrival closer to this date.  Please refrain form making any appointments on these days.

7.  Chaperones - First, than you all so much for having so many volunteers for out field trip to Lowell.  We are only able to take four so I have chosen names out of a hat and have made contact with those parents whom are attending.  Those whom I did not contact, I'd like to place on a reserve list in case a parent has to back out.  (It has happened to me several times!).  It is important to know that in order to chaperone, OR VOLUNTEER (field day!), you need to have a completed CORI.  Some of my parents who are on a reserve list for chaperoning do not have a CORI for the school and would need to have this to attend if called upon.  

8.  CORI'S -   Anyone volunteering at our school must participate in the Criminal Offender Record Information (CORI) check before volunteering.  Volunteering includes classroom volunteering, field trips, field day, etc.  Once a CORI check has been completed, your ‘CORI’ is valid for 3 years.  CORI checks are applicable to any volunteering in the Shrewsbury Public Schools.  Unfortunately, CORIs completed elsewhere are not valid for Shrewsbury Public Schools.  Please come to school and see to Mrs. Cairns, our secretary, with your license to complete the CORI form and have it processed.  It you need it processed quicker, you can stop up at Central Office and complete this process.  Please allow for at least 2 weeks for CORI checks to be completed before participating in any volunteer activities at our school.  Volunteers without a completed and processed CORI will be unable to volunteer until the process is complete.  Thank you in advance for your cooperation.
