We hope you all had an opportunity to enjoy the BIG snowflakes and snowfall over the weekend and hope it didn't dampen any of your weekend plans! Students had a chance to tell about their experiences as it was the first snowfall this year! Below are our reminders, announcements, and homework schedule for the week. As always, please reach out to your child's teacher if you have any questions!
Some General Reminders and Announcements:
Mrs. Davis Needs Our Help! Mrs. Davis, our amazing STEM Lab teacher, is in need of 2-liter bottles for STEAM day! If you have any left over, please consider sending them in!
STEAM Day is Coming Up! Our second annual STEAM DAY is coming up THIS Thursday, February 13th! Please have your student wear their HOUSE COLOR t-shirts. We are so excited for a FULL day of STEAM related activities! Our activities will include:
- Time with Project FDL (3D printing)
- Geode Creation
- Constructing Robotic Hands
- A Barge Building Challenge
Valentines Day: We will celebrate Valentine's Day on Thursday, February 13th! If students wish to build their own Valentine box at home, they certainly may! We will do our Valentine exchange at the end of the STEAM day on Thursday. This is a change from last week as the schedule for STEAM day had changed and we needed to readjust the Valentine exchange. We ask that if your child participates in the exchange that they bring a Valentine for each child in the class. Thank you!
Four Day Weekend Coming Up! Students will not have school on Friday, February 14th (this is a teacher RFF day) and Monday, February 17th (Presidents Day). Enjoy your 4 day weekend! :)
Save the Date! Hands on New Prospect Day is coming up on February 22nd! Did you know that Fulton County only cuts the grass outside the school? All landscaping and any upkeep of our grounds has to be done by the school without any personnel to help us. With this in mind, we are having a family event called Hands on New Prospect where we will spruce the place up a little bit and have some fun, too!
Mark Your Calendar:
- Saturday, February 22nd 9:00am-2:00pm (Rain Date: February 29th)
This event is sponsored by the NPE PTA and the New Prospect Environmental Committee.
Important Upcoming Dates:
Please note that test dates are always considered tentative. If in the future the team decides that a test date needs to be changed (usually in the form of being pushed back if we feel that the students are not ready), we will communicate the change to you all. Until then, these dates represent our assessment plan.
