Fox and Bear Community

The children are continuing to enjoy getting to know each other this week. We are learning routines and getting back into the swing of sharing space and ideas. Next week the children will begin using work plans and individual and small group lessons will begin. Our upcoming cultural lessons will include the science behind the first great lesson (The Coming of the Universe), and we will also start a unit on the continent of Asia. If you have any Asian artifacts please let us know so that we can share them over the coming month(s).
The classrooms can be cool at times. It is a great idea to send a sweater or zip up sweatshirt in your child's bookbag so that they can be comfortable throughout the day. However, the dress code does forbid pullover hooded sweatshirts so please refrain from allowing your child to wear these to school.
Technology Matters
If your child currently has a laptop computer checked out from the school please return it (with the charger), as soon as possible so the devices can be checked in, cleaned, and checked back out to your student. For your information:
Student Learning Device Loan Form and FPP Information (This form MUST be filled out by a parent/guardian for EVERY student)- These will be available in your classroom at Open House or you can fill out the digital version at this link.
Additionally, the district is offering a Family Protection Plan (FPP) for the devices this year for only $25. The FPP will cover accidental damage (not loss or theft) of the device and provide up to TWO replacement devices this school year. Please note that the cost of device repairs (if the FPP is NOT purchased) has increased due to demand for the parts (a Chromebook screen replacement, our most common repair, is now $90!), so we HIGHLY recommend that you purchase the FPP for each student's device.
The FPP can be purchased through School Cash Online. You will find instructions on how to register for School Cash Online and connect your student(s) to your account here.
One or our 3rd grade students became an award winning author this past Spring/ Summer. We are all inspired to do our best writing after watching Annie read her story for Georgia Public Broadcasting. To view the author reading her great piece of work, click the link below!
We hope that everyone has a restful and wonderful weekend!
