ALL IN #SIMLACUBS Elementary Awards Assembly will be on Thursday, May 18 th at 8:05 a.m. All students, in kindergarten through fifth grades will be recognized. Parents, friends, and relatives are invited to attend. The Cub Reporter The Newsletter of Big Sandy Schools Produced by the Big Sandy Yearbook Staff Tucker Tidbits for Elementary Kathy Tucker, Elementary Principal # It is hard to believe that our school year is drawing to a close. So many great things have happened this year, and students have learned a host of knowledge and strategies in their effort to develop into lifelong learners. The lazy days of summer are upon us, but that doesn’t mean the learning needs to stop. According to Oxford Learning research, students lose about two months of reading skills and 2.6 months of math skills over the summer. In the fall, teachers spend about six weeks to make up for this deficit. That is a lot of loss and time! This summer, take the opportunity to challenge your child to read, think, be active, and make the most of every second spent together. Thank you for giving our school the privilege of educating your child! ClassSize Big Sandy School's philosophy is to increase student achievement by maintaining small class sizes. Next year (2017-2018) our elementary will add some classes in order to achieve this. There will be two sessions of kindergarten: one in the morning, and one in the afternoon. We will have one first grade, two second grades, two third grades, one fourth, and two fifth grades. The fourth and fifth grades will continue to rotate through the three teachers. We are excited about next year and look forward to further success! Just a reminder… Elementary students are not allowed to have cell phones or any communicative device in the classrooms. If students have a cell phone or similar device, they can keep it in their locker or in a classroom drawer and can check it at recess or lunch. The student handbook addresses this issue in further detail. Each classroom has a phone if parents are concerned about being able to contact their child. Thank you for your cooperation. Elementary Field Day-Friday, May 12 th Kindergarten through 5 th grade students will participate in field events at the track in the morning. Kindergarten students will then be dismissed at their normal time with ice cream in hand. In the afternoon, 1 st through 5 th grade students will rotate through a variety of activities, ending at 2:30 p.m. After p.m. recess, the students will have a regular day except for the 3 rd —5 th graders who will participate in the STUCO elections from 3:00 to 4:00 p.m. If you are the parent, relative, or friend of a 1 st —5 th grade student, you can make a reservation for lunch. An adult lunch costs $3.65. Please send a note with the money to your child’s teacher or call the school (541-2291), so the kitchen staff will know how many people to expect for lunch. If we have bad weather that Friday, then field day will be rescheduled to the following Tuesday, May 16 th . Field Trips At the end of the year, classes take field trips to celebrate the success of students and to learn beyond the classroom. Students are rewarded with these trips for good behavior, good grades, good work ethic, etc. If a student is lacking in any of these areas, then he or she may not be allowed to attend the field trip. Teachers will inform students if they are ineligible for the trip. Eligible student s will be bringing home permission slips. Please sign and return with the required amount of money. Students need to make sure they are prepared and remember to bring their manners and great behavior. Elementary Principal Notes continued on page 2... School on Monday!

a child.”Forest E. Witcraft

May Students of the Month

This month, it was extremely difficult for teachers to choose only one studentof the month, so we have two. The two students are Hannah Stoliker, and VictorStonehouse. Both are in the fifth grade and Mrs. Mitchell nominated both of

these students. She said, “that they are hard-working, caring, and always helpfulin the classroom. One characteristic that stands out about both students is thatthey are always excited about learning. They view each assignment as a challenge

and work until they have successfully accomplished the task.”Thank you, Hannah and Victor, for being such great students at Big Sandy!

Summer SchoolBig Sandy students are required to meet high, academic standards. Sometimes we have to go beyond theregular school year to catch up with expectations. For a high school student looking to regain credits ora junior high student needing to pass a course to advance to the next grade, he/she can take an on-lineclass through Colorado Digital Learning Solutions. The summer school session runs June 5th throughJuly 28th, and after completion this would be for a semester credit. The cost of these courses is $210 perclass. You can register for courses at: www.coloradodls.org. At this time we do not offer summer schoolfor junior high or high school students at the school. There are other options available for summerschool, but would first need to be approved by Mr. Thieman or Mrs. Swennes before credit would beaccepted from another source.

Dress Code ReminderWarmer weather means shedding the coats and jeans and adorning clothing more suitable to summer-like conditions. Please be mindful of the dress code found in your Student Handbook. Some thingsnoted in the dress code that could be potential temptations include midriff shirts or other tight or low-cutclothing, sunglasses, shorts shorter than fingertip length, pajama bottoms, and tank tops or other similarclothing with straps narrower than 1.5 inches in width. Thank you for your attention in monitoring theseitems in the past. We have had a successful year, primarily because everyone has been so compliantwith the dress code.

2017-2018 Class RegistrationWe will begin registration for next school year. For those studentsreturning to Big Sandy Schools, a draft of the 2017-18 MasterSchedule and a form to enter first and second class choices will besent home. Students are to have parent’s signature when returningthe form to Mr. Thieman. In coordination with this event, we will holda freshman orientation for 8th grade students. In this orientation, wewill outline high school graduation requirements, encourage studentsto become actively involved in extracurricular activities, promoteleadership opportunities, and stress the importance of good studyhabits and positive choices. If you have questions pertaining topre-registration and/or freshman orientation, please contact Mr.Thieman or Mrs. Swennes.
