I think that this Blog idea is GREAT!!! What a way to communicate parents and staff! Way to go!
HOw about a Bolg topic of "Great Kids Doin Great Things"... I'd like a place to announce my son's non-acedemic accomplishments to the school community (for example, gymnastics)
Great kids doing great things is a WONDERFUL IDEA!! In fact, if any parent would like to recognize the fabulous accomplishments of your child, check out the blog under my assistant principal page, Kids Showing Kindness. I'll be happy to highlight something wonderful that your child is doing outside of school.
A lot of the students at Plain are highly successful at a variety of sports. I think it would be great to have pictures of students participating in baseball, gymnastics, volleyball, football, basketball, and numerous other activities.
We would love to publish photos with captions of students participating in great activities outside of school. Please send any pictures with descriptive paragraphs to: khellams@greenville.k12.sc.us
Issues concerning the 5th Grade Trip to the RMSC Human Growth and Development Lesson. I think the parents need to be given detailed information on what will be covered in order to prepare themselves for the topics and how to handle questions that arise when the students return home. This should be provided before permission slips are sent home and a date should also be provided with the permission slips.
Although I understand the reasons for withholding teacher assignments until after the curriculum presentation,and it did run very smoothly, I don't know that I liked it. As a rising 1st grader, it would have been helpful for my daughter to know who her teacher was earlier in the summer so she could get used to the idea, and talk to friends to see who and who wasn't in her class. Having everything at once was very overwhelming to her (especially after she realized none of her friends from kindergarden were in her class). If I had time to her prepare her, she would have enjoyed meeting her teacher much more.
Thank you for sharing your thoughts and providing us with feedback regarding our first curriculum night at Plain Elementary. Due to the number of new students entering our school, we are continuously updating and making adjustments to teacher assignments throughout the summer. For this reason, we often have our students placed shortly before the school year begins. We believe that it would be more detrimental to a child to be informed of a particular teacher only to have the assignment change.
We hope that your daughter has a wonderful school year and I am sure she will make many new friends. We appreciate your comments and look forward to working with you and your family.
I just watched a video from the Today Show. I think your community has come up with a great ideal with the Police Officer on being able to be at the school. You can see the looks on the kids faces of the safe feeling and are building a close relationship by the way he interacts with them will make it all the best for the kids to trust he is there for them. I loved the high 5 because that means something to kids. I wish you could have this ideal shipped to all states. This is the greatest step I have seen for the safety of this worlds children.
I lived in Columbia 18 years and now have a grandson in college in Columbia, S.C.. I have a daughter that lives in Columbia also.
I'm in Kingsport, TN and have a 10 year old granddaughter that starts middle school next year and I worry
about her.
It seems like you have a great group of kids in the school and some of the teachers I seen.
Sincerely,
