Good afternoon,
I cannot believe that we are 2 days away from the last day of school. Where did the year go? I would like to take this opportunity to thank you for allowing me to be part of your child’s life this year. Each one of them is special with their own gifts and talents to share. They have worked hard and are now ready to move on. I would like to thank you again for your generous gifts and support throughout the entire year. It means the world to me! When the school and home work together, we have success! Thank you for being such a wonderful group of parents!
Thursday is our last day and dismissal is at 10:30. There is no aftercare so please be there for your child at that time. It is a free TAG day. Please let me know by tomorrow if your child will be in school on Thursday. I want to make sure they have all their belongings if they don’t come in. I don’t want items to end up in the garbage. I cannot hold on to items until September. All classrooms need to be cleaned out for the summer work to begin..
Our end of year celebration will be tomorrow. We will be enjoying snow cones, cupcakes and goldfish. Thank you to my class parents(Mrs. Noble, Mrs. Rivera and Mr. & Mrs. Alexiou) for making each of our celebrations this year a huge success. They made my life so much easier and were always willing to help. You will ALL be missed! A quick shout out to to Mrs. Amaral for providing us with the snow cones tomorrow!!! I no longer have her children but she always includes me! I am so grateful!!!!
This summer your children will be given work on IXL to complete. A letter went home today explaining the assignment. Please look in your child’s folder and put the letter in a safe place. If you do not have your child’s username and password, let me know by Thursday. Your child’s study notebook is also a good resource for review.
As the children walk out my door on Thursday, I want you to know that I am still there for them. I will miss them and want them to visit me. There will never be another 1B class as the children will be split in September. I was the lucky one this year! What a wonderful group of children they are and it was my privilege to teach them. If you need anything at any time, please don’t hesitate to ask. Reach out and I will definitely get back to you!!
Rest, relax and have fun with your children over the next few months! It is time to unwind!!!!
HAPPY SUMMER!!! See you in SEPTEMBER!!!
Best,
Mrs. Mele

I cannot express my gratitude for your kindness and generosity. It is so greatly appreciated!!! Thank you for your continued support and communication. It helps me to help your child. As a team, we are making great things happen!
I will not be at school tomorrow so I would like to take this opportunity to wish you all a Happy Mother’s Day! Your love for your child is shown everyday in the classroom. You make sure their homework is done, notebook signed and snacks/lunches packed, along with a hundred other things you do for them. They are prepared and this is because of you!! As a mother of 3 daughters, I can tell you that being a mom is the hardest job on the planet. I can also say it is the most rewarding. My girls are my greatest accomplishment and I can see that your children are your treasure. Enjoy this special day and know your children love you so very much.
Some of the children will be coming home with a progress report/ update tomorrow. Please sign it and return in the envelope on Monday. All children, whether they get a progress report or not, need to continue to put forth their best effort with their homework/classwork.
