Newsletter, September 8th

A Peek At What We are Doing in Fifth Grade

We are three week into the year and it feels like time is flying by.  I just have a few pieces of information for you this week and one request.
Thank you to all the parents who said they were available to volunteer this year.  If you’d like to volunteer but haven’t signed up, please visit our online form at https://tinyurl.com/zach5vol.  It looks like I need two more parents to wash the Eco Week shirts after we’ve dyed them on Wednesday, September 20th.  If you can volunteer, please include it in the volunteer form or just send me an email.
Just a reminder the Eco Week meeting is Thursday, September 14th from 6:00 – 7:00 in the cafeteria.  This is a very important meeting, so please plan to attend with your fifth grader.  (If your student can’t make it, that’s ok. We thought we’d try having them attend this year in the hopes that it would help them to feel more comfortable and better prepared.)
Information about the clubs available to students this year may be found on the Zach Website.  Below you’ll find a note from Mrs. Johnson regarding Gold Choir.
It’s not too late to register for Gold Choir! Rehearsals begin on Thursday, September 14th.  If your student would like to join our group, please visit the Zach Website.  On the main page, scroll down to the “Zach Club Listings” tab.  Click on the tab and sign up for Gold Choir.  There are no auditions to be in Choir, all are welcome!  Cost is $20/student.  Please contact Alyssa Johnson for further information (ajohnson@psdschools.org).
I’d like to try to have all student conferences, on either Thursday, October 19th or after school the following week. In the fifth grade, we do student led conferences which mean your child is an important part of this meeting.  I’ll be sending out a link to sign up genius next week with conferences times.
