Dear Parents,

It is really hard to believe that summer is almost over!  School will begin soon!  I have to tell you that I am really looking forward to it.  The halls are just not the same without the sound of excited children spilling from the classrooms.

There are several other reasons why I am excited about this school year.

  • Our PTO has worked very hard to raise money for the purchase of Smart Boards for our school.  We will be setting up a “resource” room for each grade level that will include a Smart Board, digital projector, computer, and an overhead projector (an Elmo).  These “resource” rooms will provide so many learning opportunities for students.  They will be engaged in 21st Century learning activities that will prepare them for successful futures in a global society.
  • Our science lab has been stocked with new consumable materials for hands-on science experiments. 
  • Our school improvement goals for the year are 1) Improving students’ critical thinking/problem solving and 2) Improving students’ written communication.  We have identified our interventions – using 4-step method of problem solving and using the 6+1 Trait writing method.  These two interventions will be instrumental in helping us reach our academic goals. 
  • And last but not least….I am extremely excited because I have scheduled four parent workshops for this year!  I’m going to be conducting sessions for parents on the following dates:
  1. 17 September – Supporting Beginning Readers
  2. 22 October – Trait Writing for Parents
  3. 28 January – Helping Students with Reading in Science and Social Studies
  4. 25 February – Problem Solving at Home

 These sessions will be from 11:30 – 12:30 – we’ll have a Lunch-N-Learn.  If you bring your sandwich…I will provide the drinks, chips, and dessert.  There will be sign up sheets sent home in advance.

As you can see, we are planning for a phenomenal year here at Maxwell AFB Elementary School and I am so glad that your family will be a part of it! I look forward to seeing all of you on 6 August for our Sneak-A-Peek.  You will be receiving information about it soon.

Whatever it Takes!
Melissa Hayes
