March is jam-packed with events at East Hill so get your calendars ready! Enhanced Enrichment begins this Thursday and runs the next two Thursdays as well from 3:45 to 4:45. Please make sure to pick your child up on time. The PTA is still looking for a couple of volunteers to help out in the classroom. Next Tuesday our 5th graders will graduate from their CODE program. The ceremony will be held in the gymnasium at 6:30. 5th graders should report to their classrooms by 6:15. CODE T-shirts will be provided for the students. Nice pants are encouraged for both the boys and girls if they have them, or a longer skirt or dress for the girls.
Next Wednesday night, March 13th, East Hill parents are invited to attend an Olweus parent presentation in the library at 6:30. Olweus is the bullying prevention program that West Genesee has adopted and is using to help prevent bullying in our schools. I hope you can come to hear more about East Hill’s efforts to stop bullying.
The 3rd annual Science Fair will be held on Tuesday, March 19th at 6:30 p.m. Students will be able to drop off their projects on Monday, March 18th from 3:30 – 4:30 p.m. and 7:00 – 8:00 p.m., or on Tuesday, March 19th from 7:00 – 8:00 a.m. Projects should be taken home at the conclusion of the night. Our 3rd graders will perform their chorus concert on Tuesday, March 26th at 7:00 p.m. They will perform for our school that morning at 9:30 a.m. Spring break begins on Friday, March 29th. I’m not sure we could pack much more into this month!
In looking ahead to April, 3rd – 5th graders will take the NYS English Language Arts Assessment on April 16, 17, and 18, and will take the NYS Mathematics Assessment on April 24, 25, and 26. It is greatly appreciated if you could avoid scheduling appointments on these days. Thank you, and have a great rest of the week
