Dear  Parents/Guardian:

As you can see from the calendar on the reverse side of this letter,  the month of  May will be once again be  quite a busy one for us.    May is  National Physical Fitness and Sports Month. 

Please note that our fourth grade students will be  taking the  New York State Science assessment during this month.     Students in  grades one and two will be taking the  Terra Nova standardized tests.    The final  PTG  Meeting of the year will take place on  Wednesday,  May  10th  at  7:00 p.m.

Our Spring Concert which involves second and third grade students will take place on  Wednesday,  May 17th at  7:00 p.m.    An assembly for our students will provide an opportunity  for the rest of the student body to see the concert  earlier in the day  at  1:30 p.m.    

First grade students will be taking a field trip to  Kelkenberg Farms on  May 26th , the Kindergarten classes will be visiting the Buffalo Zoo on  May 26th as well  and  our  Second grade students will be taking a field trip to  Tifft Farms on  May  30th.

School will NOT be in session on  Monday,  May 29th  in observance of  Memorial Day.

With the arrival of  warmer weather,  students should not wear flip-flops to school.   Students often go outdoors for either a walk or on the school playground,  and flip-flops are not  appropriate footwear for school.    Also shorts should be of  a modest length,  while midriff tops are not appropriate apparel.   Thank you for your understanding concerning this matter.

Sincerely,

Mr. Robbin D. List,   Principal

Highland Elementary School
