Summer Reading with Irondequoit Public Library
Drop Off and Pick Up Concerns
When picking up PreK students at the end of the day, please remember you must turn left out of the parking lot onto Westchester Ave. We have many cars turning right and passing buses with lights on, that are loading students. The new county bus patrol cameras can now take pictures of cars passing busses and issue citations. Please make sure you are turning left so you do not receive a citation. They can be avoided!
Also, please note that when the small parking lot by the playground is full, you may not create spots next to the sidewalk and on the grass. It blocks our small bus from dropping off students. Please follow the line of cars on Westchester to pull into the drop off zone, or park on a side street if you would like to walk your child to the front door! Thank you for helping us keep all students safe!
A Look Into Our Learning
PreK: This week UPK had our last visit from Mr. Matt our local librarian! Make sure to visit him at the Irondequoit Public Library this summer for the summer reading challenge. We continued to work on our end of year celebration songs and projects. Our kiddos are ready and eager for Kindergarten!
Kindergarten: This week in Kindergarten we are getting ready to celebrate our learning & hard work at Kindergarten Celebration on Thursday! We are so proud of these students and all their hard work this school year! Congratulations to the class of 2036! We wrapped up our worm unit and a fun unit on measurement and capacity. We even found some time to create special projects for the grownups in our lives! Enjoy these last few days of Kindergarten!!!
First Grade: First grade had an amazing time at the Strong Museum of Play! Fun was had by all! We are counting down the last days of school with our fun themed activities.
Second:Second graders completed their final MAP testing of the year in ELA and Math! In ELA this week, students completed their End of Module Task which was an opinion paragraph about a healthy meal option that would nourish their bodies. Students used evidence to support their responses from a variety of sources. Great job second grade writers! What an amazing field trip to the YMCA where second graders enjoyed the rockwall , gaga/field games, archery, and the bounce pillow. We had a fantastic day of fresh air and fun at the BayView YMCA! Thank you to our wonderful parent volunteers. 😊
COVID 19 Updates
The CDC and NYDOH has issued new guidance related to isolation after testing positive for COVID 19. Individuals can go back to normal activities when, for at least 24 hours, both of the following are true: Symptoms are getting better overall, and they no longer have a fever without the use of fever-reducing medication. Please reach out if you have any questions.
Note From Ms. Zaffuto
Cold and flu season is upon us. Please read the message from Nurse Zaffuto to know when to keep your child home.
Please make sure to call your pediatrician to schedule a yearly physical if you have not done so already.
New York requires all school age children to be up to date on immunizations. Students have 14 days from the first day of school to have immunizations completed. All children who will turn 5 years of age during the school year will also need to follow these guidelines and have 14 days, starting on their 5th birthday, to have updated immunizations completed.
Please see the attached link and flyer for more information.
If your child needs to have emergency or daily medication here at school, contact the health office for further information. Please do not send any medication in with your child, a responsible adult needs to be present for all medication drop-offs/pick-ups.
