The first graders will be performing
ARF! on March 13 at 9:30 a.m. and 7:00 p.m. We would love to have volunteers
work on scenery and other areas. All students will be asked to wear

production is going to be very cute. ALL first graders will be dressed as
a dog. Look for more information to come home soon.

It's cold outside! Don't forget to write
your name in your child's coat. Please remind them to be responsible
by keeping up with all items (hats, scarves, gloves, & jackets).
If you have not already signed and
returned your child's report card and envelope, please do so. You may keep
the MAP scores at home.

For Oconee County Schools
March 5th and
6th, 2:45 – 5:00 pm
Colham Ferry Elementary
High Shoals Elementary
Malcom Bridge Elementary
Oconee County Primary
Rocky Branch Elementary
Please bring your child’s birth
certificate, Immunization form 3231, Social Security Card, and Proof of
Residency along with your child to registration.
I will be sending home a letter about XtraMath soon. This is a great program
for your child to practice his/her math facts. Please go online and help
your child get started. It is challenging for the students to recall the
facts and click on the correct answer on your keyboard in the time given.
Please sit down with your child and have them call out the answer to you
while you click the answer. You may have to do this a few days until they
get used to the program. Please allow them to make mistakes!
Mistakes are opportunities to learn!!! I will get a weekly report
stating their progress. Please allow them to practice at least twice a
week if not more.
