With the month of December, comes the realization that there are items connected with the new year that need to be discussed. First of all, a white note was sent home today with information for registering to be included in the lottery for the French Immersion Program here at Butler Elementary. For those who are interested, please read the registration dates carefully. Apparently there were some incorrect dates given out previously. Anyone interested in having their child placed in the program next year, for First Grade, needs to register online at canyonsdistrict.org by Jan. 6, 2012. If you have questions, please feel free to contact the district at 801-826-5045. There are also some parent meetings coming up in January as well.
Secondly, on January 11th, 12th, and 13th Kindergarten students will be tested for their mid-year standardized testing. This means students will not come to class on those days, but will come for an individual 20 min. testing appointment. We are using the same online scheduling for those appointments that was used for parent/teacher conferences. This scheduling will be open starting Dec. 17th and will continue through Jan. 4th. Those who do not schedule an appointment online will be assigned a time by the school. Instructions for how to do this will be sent home before the winter break begins. Remember this testing is what will help us chart the growth of each student since the beginning of the year.
Last of all, on Dec. 14th we will be decorating candy houses in class and students will bring them home that day. All supplies will be provided here at school. Several parents have offered to help, but if there are any others, please let me know. It is just amazing how quickly the year is going. But as I watch the students and the progress they are making, I can see their growth. Keep up the good work!
