Francis J. Varieur Elementary School

Newsletter–January, 2023

 

Dear Varieur Families, 

 

I hope you had a wonderful holiday with your family and friends.  The time is flying by and the children are all growing so quickly.  Please continue to have your children work hard and read nightly at home.   This helps your child in so many ways.  

 

The children had a busy week before they left for the  holiday vacation.  The Hasbro elves came and the children enjoyed the Global Day of Joy.  The elves went around the school handing out a toy to each child in every classroom. The children were so excited and also shared what the Global Day of Joy meant to them.  

 

Students who earned AR trimester rewards also enjoyed winter bingo and a hot cocoa bar.  Fun was had by everyone. Can’t wait to see how we celebrate next trimester.  

 

I want to say how proud I am of the third, fourth and fifth grade students who performed in our holiday concert.  It was great to see the students and families enjoy the concert.  

 

This is a reminder to please make sure you are picking your children up in the Max Read parking lot. The front of the school is for buses only.  I want all the children to be safe here at Varieur so please never pass a bus when the stop sign is out and again, please pick up and drop off your children at Max Read field lot.  

 

Friends of Varieur will meet on Tuesday, January 24th at 6:00 in the media center at Varieur.  We will be discussing monthly events and volunteers needed for those events.  

 

Report cards will be going home on Friday, February 3, 2023.  Please be on the lookout for those.  Please make sure your child has all their work in to their teachers before January 26, 2023.   

 

Regarding absences:  Please make sure you call your child in as absent on each day he/she will be out.  It is imperative you’re in contact with your child’s teacher in order for us to be able to send work home if we need to.  

 

It is also important to get your child to school on time. Many children have been coming into school at 9:10 or later. It is so important for the children to start their day on time in their classroom with  their teacher and their peers.  

 

There is No School on Monday, January 16th due to Martin Luther King day .
