2. We have our next PTO and Family Engagement on Friday, April 12. We hope you will bring your bikes or scooters out for a “Bike Rodeo” event from 5:30-7:00 on the track behind the school. Flyers will come home this week! We SnoBiz, Meatheads food truck, a local bike shop, Priority Ambulance, and Loudon County Sheriff’s office in attendance.

3. Our District announced that we will be closing ½ day on April 8th. Dismissal will start at 11:00 so everyone can be home to safely watch the eclipse that afternoon.
4. Math Family Fluency Activities are now available from the state department for families of students in Pre-K-2. Each collection of resources is aligned to Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library and contains text-based related math activities, extension activities, and caretaker supports. For each grade level, there is a video explaining the standard-specific math activities, a printable version of the math activities, and video resource of the text being read aloud. Parents can download the resources at this link: https://bestforall.tnedu.gov/lessons-and-learning-item?content-id=10609&mc_cid=56c138577b&mc_eid=69510f571b
5. Lastly, the Rocketeer went home last week. It is posted on our website and on our Monday Minute email if it didn’t make it home. We released family calendars for April and May to help with any planning over the next few months since there are several field trips, state testing, and end of the year events. https://5il.co/2hhcg
