Lower School Update - May 21, 2019

The Eagle’s Nest
Two classes were awarded the Golden G award today for demonstrating the Eagle Way. Congratulations to Ms. Keane’s first grade class and Ms. Fitch’s third grade class!

Parent Input Survey
Just a reminder for parents to complete the Parent Input Survey. We will extend the deadline for submissions until the end of the day on Wednesday, May 22.

Beginning of the 2019-20 School Year
As mentioned in the email sent to all parents last week, our first day of the 2019-20 school year will be Wednesday, August 7, 2019. Please mark your calendar.

News from the Library
We are incredibly excited to announce that PETER REYNOLDS, author of favorites like The Dot, Ish, and Going Places, will be coming to Graded in October! Stay tuned for more information. If you'd like to get autographed copies of his titles, look for them where you buy books. We will also have some books for sale through Livro Facil before his visit.

It's hard to believe, but it's time for library books to be returned for this school year. We currently have 1,594 items checked out of the LS Library (294 are overdue). We will begin the process on May 31 of marking books lost and sending out billing notices, but we'd always prefer to have the books back. Books are carefully selected based on students' interests and needs, and getting replacement copies here to Brazil is a lengthy process. Thank you for your help in locating items to return. Vacation checkout will be an option for families again this year, and we will also be open for checkout only on Mondays during the break from 9-11 and 1-3.
