South School

A Word from the Principal

Hello! The school year is flying by but that hasn’t slowed down the pace at South School. Recent events included Family Literacy Night, Donuts for Dads and Muffins for Moms, Family Fun Night, Parent Teacher Conferences, a Daily Five book study group, a workshop on Formative Assessment facilitated by George Tucker and the first ever South School staff production of the musical, “You‘re a Good Man Charlie Brown“. If you missed it, you missed an outstanding performance by some very talented staff members! Upcoming events include Maps/NWEA assessments, a Community Fair organized by the South School Community Connections group, a spring concert and our Academic Showcase with a focus on Literacy.

I’d like to remind everyone that there are several resources available to South School families. These include: A-Z books (paper copies of leveled books at your child’s reading level), Tumblebooks (on-line -www.tumblebooklibrary.com, username: south207, Password: books, animated, leveled books with related activities and games), and the parent resource lending center (educational games and books to be borrowed).

Please be watching for updated information on these resources and feel free to call me if you have any questions about how to access these exciting resources.

Happy Spring!

Jane Moore, Principal
