Conner Street Elementary School

3/10/2023 – Call-Out Good evening, Conner Street Families – There is a lot on our update, so please listen carefully. Reminder next week is the last week for the Read-a-thon, we are halfway to our $10,000 Read-a-thon goal. If we reach that goal by March 17th, Mrs. Warner has agreed to cut her hair in front of students and donate it to Locks of Love. Next week we are celebrating One Book One School. All students have been reading the same book, The One and Only Ivan, and will be bringing their own copy home. Students who will be using a different mode of transportation from school need to have a note. You may also call the school with plenty of advanced warning. We cannot simply take a student’s word for it that they have had a transportation change. We have had a lot of mix-ups due to this lately. If there is no note, or no call, students will be sent home via their normal mode of transportation. Kindergarten registration is March 15th and 16th. If you know anyone who plans to send their child to Conner Street next year for Kindergarten, please have them call Lisa to make an appointment. March 16th will be our Title One Reading Family Night as well as our Art Fair. All are welcome. For 5th grade parents – the $50 deposit for our field trip is due by March 17th. Carnival tomorrow – 11:00 – 4:00 Have a great weekend!

3/3/2023 – Call-Out Good evening, Conner Street Families – There is a lot on our update, so please listen carefully. First, we realize it is probably overwhelming for some of you with all the fundraisers we have going on right now. We apologize, it just so happened that Pi Day, the American Heart Association Heart Challenge and Read Across America weeks are all during the time. Next year, we will look at doing our Read-a-thon during the fall semester. On that note, we will be selling chances to pie teachers and administrators next week. Chances will cost $1. For each $1, the student will have one ticket entered into a drawing to pie their teacher. All student tickets will then be combined at the end of our activity to have the chance to pie the administrators. Additionally, we are almost halfway to our $10,000 Read-a-thon goal. If we reach that goal by March 17th, Mrs. Warner has agreed to cut her hair in front of students and donate it to Locks of Love. Next, Saturday – March 11th is the PTB Carnival. All are welcome; however, parents must stay with their children. The times are 11-4, and more information is coming soon. For 5th grade parents – the $50 deposit for our field trip is due by March 17th. There was a typo on one part of the informational letter. Have a great weekend!
