Reminder: The elementary principals will be holding a volunteer meeting at 5:00 p.m. for those parents interested in being a volunteer. Also, they will be holding a parent involvement meeting that will start at 6:00 p.m. this evening. If you are interested in parent involvement in the elementary buildings this would be a great opportunity to learn more about how you can get involved. If you are not able to attend, but are interested in volunteering or parent involvement in the elementary buildings, you may call the Versailles Elementary office at (573)378-4231 for further information. Elementary students will be bringing home their school pictures today. Class composites will not be sent home with those that purchased a picture package until after picture retakes.
School is off to a wonderful start! In our elementary schools the kids are settling into their new classroom routines and procedures, and they are ready to learn. Everyone in our elementary schools appreciates all that parents, grandparents, and the community members do for our young students. With the help of the ’Back to School Fair’, community donations, and parents digging into their pocketbooks, students have the needed supplies to start the year off right! We are encouraging everyone to get involved in their students’ education. Every grade level in our elementary schools will have 3 parent involvement activities this year. All parents are invited to attend. This is a time to work with your student, and maybe even let your child teach you about what they are learning. A new parent involvement committee, which started last year, will be meeting again on September 15th at 6:00 to discuss the new school year. The elementary principals will be available to answer questions and concerns at that time.
According to elementary principal Joni Spalding, “Together we can come up with solutions to make our school all that we want it to be for our kids. This year we are encouraging parents to be parent volunteers. We will meet on September 15th at 5:00 to discuss the opportunities available for parents, grandparents, or community members to volunteer in our school. Our elementary teachers are great about sending home weekly newsletters to keep parents informed.
