Great Week

Hello Staff and Community,

I cannot believe that it is already October 15!!!! This is our 42nd day of school. I also cannot believe this weather! I had to turn the heat on at my house for a few minutes this morning.

We are off to a good start. There are many exciting things going on at Hall Fletcher. WE have some new additions to our staff this year. Ms. Shaw is new to us in 4th grade, Mrs. McCarthy is new in first grade and Mr. Kyle is another new first grade teacher. We also have two SORT OF NEW teachers. Mr. Hamilton is our "new" music teacher. He was a teacher assistant here and now serves as part time teacher, part time teacher-assistant. Mrs. Jones is our new Spanish teacher and she also serves part-time as a teacher assistant. We also have Mrs. Rowe who is a new library assistant and Ms. Garrison who is a new 3rd grade assistant. In addition we have several new tutors with us this year. The year is looking GREAT!!!!!!

PTO is having a few things going on right now that I want to share. There is a donut card sale in progress that will help raise funds for our fall festival. You can buy a card for $10.00 and get 12 dozen donuts! Contact your child's teacher about this. Also, we have a staff/parent basketball game coming up on October 28th. This is going to be such fun. Make sure you attend.

Finally, We recently had training here with all staff on bullying. Tonight on 20/20, there is a 2 hour special on this topic. Have a great weekend, post a comment!

  1. I am glad we are raising awareness of bullying. As we educate ourselves more about this important subject, we will learn new strategies for helping students be more mindful of their behaviors.

    We will give the surveys to students tomorrow unless their parents opted out and we have out assemblies scheduled for this Thursday and Friday.
