ANTHONY J. SCHMIDT ELEMENTARY SCHOOL
NOVEMBER
PARENT LETTER
Dear Parents and Guardians,
I want to begin by thanking all of you for
your support with our fundraiser. Your
hard work and effort really paid off for our students. With your help, our profit was nearly
$7,000. The funds raised will help to
bring educational programming to AJ and to offset the costs of some of our
building programs. Thank you again for
your support; it is truly appreciated!
The November calendar is printed on the
reverse side, please post it prominently on your refrigerator. Our first trimester ends on Tuesday,
November 24th. You will
receive communication from your child’s classroom teacher regarding
parent-teacher conferences.
You should have already received information
regarding our Arts in Education program for students in grades 2, 3, 4 and
5. It went home this week on a bright
yellow, half-sheet of paper. Students
will be traveling to JT Waugh Elementary in the village to participate in their
annual Arts in Education program on November 2nd (grades 4 and 5)
and on November 16th (grades 2 and 3).
The New York State Elementary Social Studies
Assessment for 5th grade students will be held on Monday and
Tuesday, November 16th and 17th. Students are expected to answer 35
multiple-choice questions and to complete short and constructed response
questions and to write a document-based essay.
Our students have been preparing for this assessment that tests their
elementary school knowledge of social studies during and after school. Please be sure that they are particularly
well rested.
Our students in 3rd, 4th
and 5th grade will be working hard in the month of November to
prepare for our Holiday Concert. This
year’s program, “Twas the Night Before Christmas” will be performed
on Wednesday, December 2nd at 2:00 and 7:00 pm in the gymnasium at
AJ Schmidt. Additional information will
come home from Mrs. Martin.
If I don’t see you before, I hope you have a
wonderful Thanksgiving holiday. Enjoy
your time with family and friends. If
you have any questions or are in need of additional information, please do not
hesitate to contact me. I can be
reached at 926-2351 or via email at
