"DAISY DAILY" FOR WEEK OF FEBRUARY 8, 2016

February 7, 2016

NO SCHOOL ON MONDAY, FEB. 8---SNOW DAY

Daisy Friends,

I do hope that everyone "enjoyed" the snow day on Friday and that you're pumped up for a fun Super Bowl Day today!

You must admit, when the snow FINALLY stopped and the sun came out, it was gorgeous!  Daisy just wasn't the same without everyone on Friday, but hope you stayed safe and enjoyed the day (and digging out : )

We have an extremely full week ahead with Parent/Teacher Conferences, PTO Meeting, BOE Meeting, etc., etc. . . with perhaps a few more snow flurries thrown in?

Here are a few reminders:

• Since Friday was a snow day, Monday, Feb. 8 will be an "A" Day!
• Since many teachers have scheduled Parent/Teacher Conferences throughout the week (not just the designated days of Tuesday and Thursday), I'd like to offer teachers our grade-level meeting time to prepare and/or hold conferences.  Unless your grade-level team has a burning issue that we need to meet about, please consider this time yours for preparation/conferences.
• Please continue to let me know, as well as our specialists and support teachers, about any Parent/Teacher Conferences that you'd like us to join.
• The PTO Father/Daughter Dance has been rescheduled to Friday, Feb. 26, at 7 pm.
• Plans have been approved for all windows to be updated at Daisy this summer.  During this construction phase, the school will be off-limits for students, so ESY/Summer School and Recreation Dept. Camp will be scheduled elsewhere.  As soon as I have a detailed schedule and specifics, I will let you know more.
• As always, please let me know your concerns.

Warmly,

Ruth
