Welcome to Minnequa Elementary School
August, 2010
Minnequa Elementary Families,
We hope your summer vacation was restful and fun!
Please note the following details for the beginning of the 2010 – 2011 school year:
- The office opened August 2nd.
- Classroom assignments are completed and will be posted on August 18th.
- The first two days back for students – August 23rd and August 24th – are considered Assessment/Transition days. Please note the times for students attendance on these two days is atypical.
- In an effort to provide time for beginning of the year assessments, the district calendar set these two days to be structured differently than you are accustomed to. Each school has scheduled these days to address their particular needs. Minnequa’s schedule for these two days will be as follows:
- August 23rd: Students with surnames beginning with the letters A-M will attend school from 8:00 – 12:30.
- August 24th: Students with surnames beginning with the letters N – Z will attend school from 8:00 – 12:30.
- On both days, at 12:30, some students will remain for more intense, diagnostic testing. You will be informed if your child will be among those tested.
- Students 1st – 5th grades will eat breakfast and lunch / Kindergarten students will only be served breakfast
- In an effort to provide time for beginning of the year assessments, the district calendar set these two days to be structured differently than you are accustomed to. Each school has scheduled these days to address their particular needs. Minnequa’s schedule for these two days will be as follows:
We are requesting that all parents attend a welcome back breakfast and orientation meeting on their child’s transition day from 8:00 – 9:30 AM. It will be offered both days, but you are only required to attend one presentation. This will be your opportunity to learn about our expectations and meet your child’s teacher.
August 25th: All students 1st – 5th grades will begin attending from 8:00 – 3:10.
Kindergarten students will also attend these two days according to their surnames; however they will be dismissed at 11:00. They will all attend beginning on August 25th until 11:00 AM. Full day Kindergarten will start on September 7th. These shortened days will allow the teachers to assess the students by appointment each afternoon.
Regular school days/hours for 2010 – 2011:
o 8:00 – 3:10 Monday – Thursday; 8:00 – 1:30 Friday
o Breakfast and lunches are free to all students 5 days a week
o Breakfast will be served in the classrooms
o Students may not be on the playground prior to 7:50 AM
We look forward to seeing you in the fall!
