#Engage, Energize, & Educate
November 26th
Dear Families,
We have placed our 2 tables of Lost and Found on the sidewalk near door 4 today through Wednesday from 8:00-3:45 pm. We encourage you to stop by and reclaim any of your child’s clothing. It is highly recommended that you label all coats, hats, sweatshirts, water bottles, etc. All items will be donated Wednesday, November 27th at 3:45 pm.
There is NO SCHOOL on Thursday, November 28th and Friday, November 29th for the Thanksgiving Break.
Coming December 1st
We are proud to partner with Recess Rocks, a comprehensive recess improvement program. We recently completed training and we are going to trial a Junior Coaching Recess Program for grades 5, 4, and 3. These students can sign up to be a Junior Coach on Tuesdays and Thursdays during their recess to support the opposite grade level (grade 5 is with grade 1, grade 3 is with k, and grade 4 is with grade 2) recess. Their responsibilities include: modeling 4 Square, teaching Around the World, equipment set up, equipment clean up, and accompanying students to the nurse or the bathroom. The only requirement for becoming a Junior Coach is that the student must be in good behavior standing.
Recess Volunteers
We welcome volunteers to help support and supervise at our before-school recess which runs from 8:20-8:50 am daily. Our afternoon recess times are as follows:
Grades 1 and 5 11:40-12:05 pm
Grades K and 3 12:15-12:40 pm
Grades 2 and 4 1:10-1:35 pm
Please reach out to Mrs. Ross at jross@smithfield-ps.org to be a recess volunteer.
BCI and Volunteer Training
In order to volunteer at PVES, please be sure that your BCI is current. If you need your annual Volunteer Training, please email me at tviera@smithfield-ps.org. I’d be happy to arrange a convenient time to complete the training by phone, in person, or by a google meet.
