Good evening Trailblazers,
This is Mrs. Graf the Proud Principal of Banks Road Elementary School! I have a few announcements for you:
First things first, I want to thank everyone who came out for Open House this past Thursday evening. I hope that you learned more about your child’s classroom and the grade-level classroom expectations.
If you came out last Thursday, you were given our Banks Book of the Year! We have a book for every family to have in their hands and in their homes. Our teachers and staff will use this text in multiple ways throughout the school year. This is a text that you can read with your child and discuss in numerous ways. We will share more about Ms. Smith’s Incredible Storybook as the year progresses.
Picture Day is this Wednesday, August 21st for students on Tracks 3 & 4. Wear your Sunday best or your favorite outfit and be sure to bring your best smile!
Mark your calendars for this Thursday. It’s our very first Spirit Night sponsored by our PTA. Come on out to Pelican’s Sno-Balls and have a cool treat. You can come out anytime between 3-9 p.m. Don’t forget to mention that you are supporting Banks Road when you make your purchase. If it’s raining on Thursday, mark your calendars for our rain-date of the August 27th.
This Friday is our very first Early Release Day. Dismissal will begin at 1:15 for all students carpool and bus. Please be sure you call the school to notify us of any transportation changes.
Also, this is the last call regarding our PTA Clothing Drive. We are in need of several items to support students who have a spill or accident at school. A small flyer was sent home this past Friday outlining the details of our needs. Our clothing drive ends this Friday. Feel free to drop off the items in the box in the lobby, in the carpool line to one of our staff members or send in with your child.
That’s it Trailblazers! I have posted this information on the school website and on the Principal's Desk blog. Please call the school if you have any questions. Have a great evening!
My Banks Best, Mrs. Graf
