Dear Chávez Families and Staff:
This has been a busy week. We are looking forward to our music program
for second and third graders on 2/5 at 6:30 right here at our
school - Chávez ! Here are some this week's happenings:
- We have moved computers, printers and some furniture from Chávez
to our classrooms at our host schools. Most classrooms will have computers
by the beginning of next week.
- We are moving Ms. McGaw's 4th grade class at Thoreau into a classroom.
Again, we are indebted to the Thoreau staff who will be giving up their
staff work area.
- We have moved the student desks from the 5th and 4/5 classes at
Chávez for our students who are John Muir. The students were really
excited about getting their desks back. They were almost "like kids in a
candy store."
- The first and second grade teachers and the other staff that work in
the vicinity of those rooms have been able to go back into their rooms to
retrieve materials.
- We are currently emptying the containers that have been in the back
parking lot and putting the contents in the gym so teachers will be able to
get their materials.
- We are also working on a system that would allow students to go through
their desks to get to their belongings and past work. This would affect
the 2/3, 3rd and 4th grade classes. The 5th grade already has their desks
and the kindergarten, 1st, & 2nd grade students do not use desks. What we
will most likely do is hold the buses in the morning back for about 1/2 hour
to allow students to go through their desks. If you as a parent need to
get at a desk please contact me.
- Remember the Winter Musical is on for kindergarten, 2nd, and 3rd,
graders. It will be this coming Tuesday, 2/5 at 6:30 right here in the
commons area.
- If you need to reach me my office phone is 442-2006, cell 220-2947,
home 274-5695.
Sincerely,
Howard Fried
