The Cornelius Chronicle

December 18, 2015

Enjoy your 2 weeks off with your families!  Feliz Navidad!  Happy Holidays!  

Cornelius Glasses Club

During our Cougar Team meetings, we have heard from almost every grade level that there are kids who have glasses but don’t wear them.  We want to encourage all of our students who need glasses to wear them, so we are starting a Glasses Club!  Flyers are going home with students today.  We will have a sticker chart (or punch out chart or marker chart - your choice) for student accountability after break--thanks, Daisy, for working on this!  Thanks to Melissa for creating a flyer, a club, and a glasses rap in less than 30 minutes this morning and selling it to each class today!  

For any staff members who have prescription glasses, please wear your glasses, instead of contacts the entire first week in January to encourage students to wear glasses, like we do with our school uniforms on Mondays.

Parents in Action Parent Club Meeting Jan. 5

Remind your students/parents about the Parents in Action Parent Club night as soon as we come back to school - Jan 5th at 6:30 pm.  Please talk this up!

Fingerprint scanning on Jan. 4th - all students!

Each class needs to be finger print scanned after winter break because they are upgrading the computer system in the cafeteria.  Please bring your class through at your assigned time.  It should take about 5 - 10 min per class.  There is no ELD on Jan 4th for grades 1-2 only because of this.

• Be sure to clean off any vents/heating units before you leave for break.
• They will be testing our mechanical systems and fire alarms on 12/24 from 8 - 11 am! Probably not a good day to be in the building.  Also, be sure to sign in and out and turn the alarm on/off if you come into the building over break.  
• In January, we will need to do Easy CBM testing for English reading (K-4), IDEL testing for K-3 Spanish reading, EDL testing for 4th grade Spanish reading, and IAP Math testing for 3-4 math!
