Dear Ryerson Families,
The month of March has come and gone! During the month of March, students were quite busy learning in their classrooms. From Mindfulness lessons to "Cake Wars" in math, our students continue to amaze me with their creativity, perseverance and "out of the box" thinking!
Next week, Grade Three students will have the option to have their photograph taken in front of Ryerson Elementary School. This is completely voluntary; but may be quite a wonderful keepsake for families as our third graders will be leaving our school on the hill in a few short months to head to Brown Intermediate School. These photographs will take place on Tuesday, April 5th. If you do have questions regarding these photographs, please contact me. I'm happy to answer your questions.
The tents have returned to Ryerson School! We are excited to add the option of eating outdoors once again now that the tents are back and the weather is supposed to get warmer. Next week, students will return to a rotation of eating outside at times throughout the school week.
The Scholastic Book Fair will be held April 26th through April 29th. Students will attend the Book Fair with their class to purchase books. The Scholastic Book flyer will be sent home to families to peruse prior to the attending the Book Fair. The schedule for when your child will attend the Book Fair will be sent home in backpacks next week. Please check your child's backpack to learn more.
Just a reminder, there are two weeks remaining until April Break. There will be no school on Friday, April 15th in observance of Good Friday. April Break is scheduled for April 18th through April 22nd. School will resume for all staff and students on Monday, April 25th.
