Fox and Bear Community


We are looking forward to a fun-filled week! We will be out of the classroom on Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday for a variety of adventures. Please read the information below thoroughly as there are a lot of exciting things happening between now and the end of the year. 

Field Day Needs: Important - Please Read!
We need 3 tents/canopies to use for our Fox and Bear community this Friday, 5/9. Coach Leslie will be at Daffin Park by 8:30 am and will provide information on where each classroom/grade level should set up. Please email and/or text us via Remind if you can bring a tent. 

We are hoping for 2 or 3 parents to bring fruit for the community to share. Watermelon is always a popular treat! Please email and/or text us via Remind if you are able to bring fruit. 

Students must bring a water bottle, towel, and change of clothes. Please label everything with their names. Important information about Field Day dos and don'ts is included in the flyer linked below. Please review. Students may be signed out from Daffin Park at the conclusion of Field Day. 


Assessment Scores and Montessori Grades for the Spring
Families will receive an email in the next week summarizing your child's scores on IReady and Amira as well as their grades for the spring term. A hard copy of the grades will be sent home in an envelope as well for you to sign and return. Please let us know if you would like to schedule a conference. 

End of the Year Celebrations
Talent Show: The Fox and Bear Talent Show is back on the last Monday of school, 5/19. Students are encouraged to share their talents with their classmates and teachers. Previous talents have included dances, song and musical instrument performances, gymnastics, art work/Lego building/embroidery, magic tricks and more. Please reach out if you have any questions. 

Third Grade Ceremony: We will honor our third grade students with a ceremony in the front garden after a picnic lunch on Tuesday, 5/20. Please let us know ASAP if you have a third grader who you know will not be at school this day. 

Summer Birthdays: If your child has a summer birthday and would like to do their Walk Around the Sun celebration with our community before the end of the year, please reach out to us to schedule.
