MAGNET CLASS FOR HIGH ABILITY STUDENTS:
Do you notice that your child demonstrates a depth and complexity of thought, formulates new ideas and solutions, uses extensive vocabulary and may use alternative methods when approaching unfamiliar mathematical problems? If this describes your child then he or she may be a highly intellectual student that would benefit from participating in our Magnet Class for High Ability Students. Magnet Classes are designed to offer students opportunities to work at a greater depth and/or breadth or at a faster pace than in the regular classroom setting. We will share more about our very effective Magnet Program and classes at our Magnet Parent Informational Meeting on November 10th at 5:00 pm in the Shattuck Auditorium (600 Elm St. Neenah, WI). The informational meeting will provide an opportunity learn more about the Magnet Curriculum, meet the Magnet Teachers, hear about Magnet Testing and find out more about how to get your child involved in this program.

Playground and Lunchroom Supervisors NEEDED:
We are in desperate need of lunchroom and playground supervisor help! If you are available on Thursdays from 11:00-12:15, I am looking for someone to be out on the playground. If you are available on Fridays from 11:15-12:25, I am looking for someone to be in the lunchroom. I am also looking to create a "sub list". This list would be used to call people when we run into a bind. There are times when a supervisor gets sick, has a sick child, or has something come up. These events would cause us to need a sub. This doesn't happen often, but it certainly does happen. If you are able to help us out in any capacity, please contact Mrs. Chrisman as soon as possible. Your help will be GREATLY appreciated!!!
