Dear Parents,

Your students have decided to take their Prince Caspian test on Thursday, for chapters 9-15, and their math test on Friday, over unit 6. Study Guides will be sent home today.

Spalding this week will only have 20 words.

Reminder that Friday is Great Hearts Day and that it is also a half day.

"At Archway Lincoln, we will not celebrate Valentine's Day as it is traditionally celebrated in schools, but will instead celebrate Great Hearts Day on Friday, February 12th.  Each class will have a short celebration, the focus of which will be on the virtue of Friendship and kind-heartedness, not gifts and candy.

We ask the classroom liaisons, in conjunction with the teachers, to plan classroom parties during which the students will enjoy activities that recognize what it means to be a good friend. Our hope is that each child is celebrated for the ways in which he or she demonstrates Friendship in the classroom and community.

Please remember that students are not to bring in any Valentine's cards or treats for their classmates. In each classroom, students will have opportunities to show appreciation for their friends during the party. If any student brings in Valentines or candy, we will need to put them in the backpack to be returned home.

Thank you for your consideration of this special day and the establishment of traditions here at Archway Lincoln!"
