Week of June 5th, 2017
Sutter's Fort
Next Monday, June 12th is our long-anticipated trip to Sutter’s Fort! Please bring your child to school by 7:00 a.m. The fourth graders should come to their classroom, as the teachers will be take attendance and pass out possible bags there. Please be prompt, as we have a few things to take care of before leaving on the buses at 7:30. Students should already be dressed in their costume when they arrive at school. Please have your children leave any watches and jewelry (earrings included unless ears are newly pierced) at home, as they are not period-appropriate. Girls also need to be sure that any nail polish has been removed before coming to school.
Our day at the Fort will be a long one and we will not be returning to school until 9:30 p.m. the evening of the 12th. Please arrive at Edna a little before 9:30 p.m. on the 12th. As soon as the buses arrive at school, we will release children off the buses one-by-one. You will need to find the bus your child is riding in and then check in with the parent coordinator assigned to your child’s bus before taking your child home. We will have signs on the side of the buses, indicating which classes are on which bus.
All borrowed costume items must be returned to school on Tuesday the 13th! Your child should bring to school any borrowed items in a bag. It is not necessary to clean them beforehand. They will be laundered by parent volunteers at a later time. It is very important that everything borrowed is returned on time. We will need those costumes for next year’s class! Also, please consider donating your child’s personal costume to the Sutter’s Fort Costume Closet. We can always use more! Thanks so much!
Since we will be gone at Sutter’s Fort all Monday, we will be providing a pizza lunch to your child on the following school day, Tuesday, June 13th. Please be sure you cancel any hot lunches you may have ordered for the 12th and 13th.
Because our trip to Sutter’s Fort is so late this year, our end-of-the year class party will be on Tuesday the 13th. All five fourth grade classes will have a joint party. We will enjoy the pizza lunch together and then spend some time playing outside. This will be a student-only party, as we will have just spent the entire day before with many of our students’ parents. They will surely need the day off to rest and recover!
