UNPLUG AND READ OVER BREAK

As we look ahead to Spring Break, we encourage you to spend time re-engaging with your children by enjoying time outdoors, disconnecting from screens, or enjoying a book together. Looking for a good book? Mrs. Stalter from the South CLC has compiled a list of book recommendations here.

MYSTERY MUSICIANS

You may hear a bagpipe in the hallway of South School this month. In observance of Music In Our Schools Month® (MIOSM®), South is welcoming “Mystery Musicians” to come and play instruments in our music classes. Instruments include guitar, banjo, bagpipes, djembe, cello, saxophone, flute, and piano. An opera singer will also visit. Thank you to Mrs. Angela Wilson, our music teacher, and Dr. Zonghetti for making this possible. Thank you also to our community members who are sharing their talents with our students.

SECOND GRADE SAFETY PATROL

Your second grade student may come home from school this week talking about the opportunity to be part of Safety Patrol at South School because a new session is starting!  Safety Patrol is only open to second graders because we want the role of modeling safety, good choices and looking out for one another to fall to the oldest students in our school.    If you do not want your student to participate, please let your child’s classroom teacher know.

COMMUNICATION DEVICES

We’d like to share our policy regarding Smartwatches (e.g. Gizmos, Apple Watch) at school. We understand this serves as a useful tool to communicate with your child. However, we kindly ask that students leave their watch in their backpack and put them “Away for the Day.” Please know that changes in your child’s dismissal will be communicated with your child directly.  If you need something during school hours, please call or email the South School office at southoffice@glencoeschools.org or 847.835.6400.
