Congratulations
to all these students. I am so proud of you!
Our virtue for the month of April is HONESTY. Please talk with your child about the importance of being
honest with everyone, especially their peers and teachers. Students that
demonstrate this virtue can be rewarded with Dojo points and can earn the honor
of being the Class Dojo Leader for the Virtue of the Month. They will receive a
certificate and have their picture displayed in the lobby.
In April, our third, fourth, and fifth grade students
will be practicing for their PARCC testing which will take place in May. Please
encourage them to do their best so that they are prepared when testing takes
place. We want them to show BCPS how much progress they have made this year!
Also, in April, Penny Wars is back!! It is time to start
saving those pennies to be the top grade level!! There will be a special treat
for all that participate. Start planning who you will sabotage.
I would like to encourage all families to join Class Dojo
is you haven’t already. I am sharing important updates and reminders on the
site daily. It is an easy way to stay connected to the incredible things that
are happening in our school!
As we start this month, please remember that it is vital
to have your children attend school every day. When they miss school, they also
miss important instruction that they need to continue to make progress. Please
try to get them here every day!
I want to thank all of the amazing families that we have
at Essex. I genuinely appreciate your support!! I am truly honored to be a part
of this community. I am one Proud
Principal!!
