GEM Day (Garden Education and Maintenance) is this Saturday, April 6 from 9 am -1 pm. Garden Day is not just about maintenance, it’s about spending time outside with friends and family, exposing your children to gardening, and helping your child’s school. Kids LOVE to garden, and it helps children be more open to eating vegetables. We will be planting new flowers and veggies on Saturday as well as having a Kids’ Nutrition class. Please come, even if it’s just for 30 minutes and enjoy a beautiful day outside with your Bear Family. Contact Ashleigh Livingston for more information.
School Supplies
Prepaid School Supply forms will come home April 24 and be due May 1. The fees range from $65-75 per student depending on the grade. In addition to School Supplies, you will have the option to add and prepay for a replacement Field Trip shirt and/or next year’s Theme Shirt! This will guarantee your child will have these the first week of school! There will be a $10 late fee for any School Supply fees turned in after May 1st unless arrangements have been made for a payment plan. Be on the lookout for these forms!
Transition Meetings
Transition meetings for Kindergarten through Fourth Grade are in the process of being scheduled. Information will be sent home by your teacher during the next couple weeks. Your child’s transition meeting will be conducted by the teachers of the grade level your child will be in next year. The purpose of the transition meeting is to give parents a broad overview of your child’s upcoming grade level. The teachers will share information regarding how next year will differ from the current year, skills that should have been mastered, and suggestions for summer practice so that students will not experience summer learning loss.
It is our hope that spring transition meetings will help ensure a successful 2019-2020 school year. Detailed information day-to-day classroom procedures and operation will be covered on Back to School Night in August.

Bear will celebrate our teachers and staff on Monday, April 29 – May 3. Keep an eye out in the next couple weeks for a listing of all theme days and special events.
