Lion’s Tale Greathouse/Shryock Traditional Elementary School Newsletter

January 2014

A Message from our Principal, Ms. Davis

Welcome to our New Year…2014!

January is a great time to review our inclement weather procedures…take a

look at pages 18-19 in your school handbook. Be sure you are aware of

possible schedule changes that may occur and ensure that you have a plan in

place for arrival and/or dismissal should there be a change in our schedule.

Please do not call the school office for inclement weather information. We

receive our information from the radio and television stations. Fox 41 text

alerts are a great way to stay updated on weather situations.

Our third and fourth grading periods have been adjusted due to the two

December snow days. January 14th is now the end of the 3rd Grading Period

with a report card distribution date of January 24th. The fourth grading

period is January 15-February 27 with the same distribution date of March

11. Please note that school is now in session on Wednesday, February 26th and

Thursday, February 27th.

As we begin the 2nd half of the school year keep in mind that all grade levels

will be increasing their expectations of students to ensure that they will meet

end-of-year standards and will be ready to proceed to the next grade level.

Please continue to stay on top of what is happening in your child’s classroom

by reading the weekly newsletter/website post each Monday. It is also

important to check your child’s progress toward their reading goal. You can

track Accelerated Reader goal progress at

Continue to work on those math facts for the GH Math Challenge…do you

know your child’s goal?

K: count, identify & write numbers to 50; count to 100 by 5s and 10s

1st: 30 addition facts (1 minute)

2nd: 30 addition facts (1 minute); 30 subtraction facts (1 minute)

3rd: 40 addition facts (1 minute); 30 subtraction facts (1 minute);

40 multiplication facts (1 minute)

4th: 40 addition facts (1 minute); 30 subtraction facts (1 minute); 50

multiplication facts 0-12: (3 minutes); 50 division facts 0-12: (3 min)

5th: 100 mixed facts: addition, subtraction, multiplication, division (3

min)

Be sure to take advantage of IXL.com to reinforce math skills and concepts.

Information is included in classroom newsletters/websites. Contact your

child’s teacher if you have questions.

Car rider parents: Please watch staff closely for directions on stopping,

especially if you are picking up or dropping off in the #1 spot. We must

load/unload 6-7 cars at a time in order to manage our large number of car

riders and stay within our time limits. If the 1st car does not pull up far enough,

then the remaining 5-6 cars waiting to load do not make it to their number

which causes the students to move/shift down in order to load into their car.

This is not time efficient. Also, watch staff in the morning for unloading

instructions if you are unsure about where/when to let your child out of your

car. Again, we unload 6-7 cars at a time in order to get everyone into building

on time. If you see staff motioning to get out of the car, this means it is time to

get out of the car even if you are not directly in front of the blue awning/door.

Thank you for your immediate attention to these issues. We need everyone’s

cooperation to keep things moving along in our car rider line…thank you!

Can you belive that we are ½ way through the school year? Seems like we just

started the 1st day of school for our new year. This year has already had a

number of exciting events; the last two being our Fit Lit night and Talent

Show. Thanks so much to all the staff, teachers, and parents that helped make

these events successful. We also have some exciting events coming up in the

next few months. Some of those include:

PTA Community Nights

Spelling Bee

PTA Movie Night

Be on the lookout for more information about these fun events. If you are

intersted in volunteering for any of these events, please feel free to contact me

at [email protected].

Thanks again to all of the parents that have helped with PTA events, attended

field trips, helped in the classrooms or lead a committee. It really takes a

small village sometimes to make the events, parties, etc. run smoothly.

Dear Parents,

The Dare to Care food drive will take place the week of January 27-31st. Our goal is to beat last

years’ total of 2163 lbs. Please start saving your nonperishable holiday leftovers and support Dare

to Care!

After being approached from some of our wonderful fourth graders about some proactive ideas for

bully prevention, we have decided to participate in “No Name Calling Week”, January 21st-24th.

Students will keep a tally of times when they are called a name by a peer or slip up and call a peer a

name. Our students are already some of the kindest kids I have ever encountered. Hopefully, this

small accountability will give our students an even greater sense of the importance of kindness and

respect. The creators of “No Name Calling Week” (www.nonamecallingweek.org) have developed

the SAFE approach as a means for helping children avoid bullies. SAFE is an acronym for:

Stand Positive and Strong

Avoid the Situation

Find Support

Express Your Feelings

1. Stand Positive and Strong means it is important to appear confident. Try using “I” messages (“I feel” or “I think”) that express how you feel and lets bullies know you expect them to stop immediately.

2. Avoid the Situation means do not fight back or respond to bad behavior with more bad behavior. Think of safety first and don’t let emotions cause you to react with anger or violence. Avoid places where you may not be safe and walk away, if possible.

3. Find Your Support means find others who have experienced the same types of situations you have. Hang out with people who accept you and join group activities where you can meet new friends.

4. Express Your Feelings means talking to family, friends, teachers, your principal or your counselor. Seeking help is not “tattling.” Practice making positive statements to boost confidence.

If you have concerns or questions about bullying, please feel free to call or contact me by E mail. If

you ever suspect your child is a victim of name calling or bullying of any kind, please make us aware

of the situation as soon as possible.

Best wishes,

Margie Odom

Congratulations to all Greathouse Students that met their

ACCELERATED READING GOAL for the 2nd Grading Period.

Don't forget that each student has an AR GOAL for every

grading period. (We're working on a special prize for each

student that meets their AR GOAL for the 3rd grading period).

Remember: The AR Lab is open each morning before school

from 8:30-8:50 a.m.

Let's Keep Reading!

“The more that you read, the more things you will know. The more that you learn, the more

places you'll go.”

― Dr. Seuss, I Can Read With My Eyes Shut!

The following students met their AR goal for the 2nd grading period! Congratulations!!

WE LOVED IT SO MUCH THE FIRST TIME, WE'RE DOING IT AGAIN!

February's Community Fundraiser Day will be at Chic-Fil-A ALL DAY (that includes breakfast, lunch, dinner and snack time, too) on Monday, February 17th! Any purchases made at both the St. Matthews (across from The Mall St. Matthews) and Springhurst Chic-Fil-A stores will benefit Greathouse! Greathouse will receive 20% of all sales from the entire day!!! How easy is that? You get the convenience of good food, fast and the school receives money to use towards needed technology and/or improvements which ultimately benefits all of our kids! It's a WIN-WIN!

Let's make it interesting and take it up a notch...

Last September at Chic-Fil-A, Greathouse family and friends helped Greathouse earn approximately $395--that's 20% of all the sales that day! I bet we can beat that number in

February because here at Greathouse we love a challenge and

we are just that good!!!

** You must present your coupon that will be sent home via the backpacks in order for Greathouse to receive the 20%! Give a coupon to your neighbors, friends and co-workers, too!***

Aakash Vadhanam, Nimish Mathur and
