Happy Friday! We hope your kiddo had a great second week of 5th grade. We're starting to get in the swing of things, and are having a great year so far!
If you haven’t done so already, please complete this GOOGLE FORM at your earliest convenience! It helps us get to know you and your child’s needs (and provides us with nuts and bolts details like contact info, how your child gets home from school, etc.). Each Tuesday, your child will participate in an SEL (Social Emotional Learning) lesson during their math class; Ms. Salome and Ms. Wirht will combine classes and co-teach during this time. You can expect a “Home Link” page in your child’s Wednesday folder most weeks. SEL Home Links are an optional at-home page meant for families to complete together, mirroring the topics discussed at school each week. They can be a great jumping off point for discussions, if nothing else! Back to School Night will be held next Thursday, September 6; from 5:30-6:00 pm there will be a school-wide teacher introduction in the cafeteria. Then from 7:00-8:00 pm, 5th grade BTSN will also be held in the cafeteria. We’ll be discussing our academic year ahead, as well as Dillo Quest (5th grade overnight trip), middle school selection, and more. We hope you can make it! We’ll post our presentation on the 5th grade website if you are unable to attend. Your child received an application for an Austin Public Library card -- please complete and return to your child’s homeroom teacher ASAP! A representative will take care of the rest, and a library card will allow your child to check out digital books from the APL system, in addition to the other ways your child can already check out books from school. There are no late fees on digital ebooks or audiobooks! Your child can also use this card to check out physical books if you take them to a physical Austin library branch, but late fees can be applied to physical books and DVDs. Please contact Hill librarian, Ms. Pustka ([email protected]) with questions, or if your child needs another application. For last minute transportation changes, please only call the office or your teacher’s classroom phone (do not email us). We check our email often, but sometimes we don’t see these emails in time! Students are NOT permitted to hang out on the playground or sport court after school unless their parent or guardian is supervising beginning immediately after the bell rings. This doesn't mean kids can jump in last minute just because another child's parent is there. Please contact the office if you have further questions. Thanks for reading, and have a wonderful three-day weekend! ~5th Grade Team
