Good afternoon families! We hope everyone had an amazing weekend. This week ahead should be a fairy quiet week. We will begin our Amira Reading intervention assessment during Library/Character Strong classes this week. Please see count action about this amazing program that was sent home this week. Our 2nd grade Veterans Day program will be Thursday, November 13th at 6 pm in partnership with the MCHS Jazzbb band. Smile club will be moving to the 2nd Thursday of the month due to holidays coming up. This is a change to the weekly newsletter. Don't forget our cereal box drive. These will be in conjunction of all schools to add to avoid drive for our families in the district. NTI packets 1-4 went home this week with our students. The weather is calling for some ugly white stuff this week, but we hope those packets are not needed. It is too early for crazy weather!! 😬 See everyone tomorrow.

Good Afternoon Families!
We hope you all had an amazing weekend and today was a great day back for all our students. I apologize for not getting the Sunday information to you yesterday, but I was having difficulty with my end of the app.
Other than Red Ribbon week, we have a fairly quiet week here at Straub. This is by far the craziest week at Straub due to all the dressing up, crazy schedules, Halloween celebrations with extensive amounts of candy and normally a full moon falls in this week. Daylight affects our students also in the mornings when it is still dark and they are arriving at school.

This week is digital citizenship week across the district. Attached, you will find the themes for each day. This is not mandatory, but a fun way to show your techy side.
Please dress warm as we will be going outside until it is no longer possible.
See everyone tomorrow!

Good Morning Straub Families!
We hope everyone enjoyed their weekend and are ready for a great week at Straub.
We have a relatively calm week before Fall Break next week with Red Ribbon Week and Halloween coming up at the end of the month. That is always a crazy busy week. We have added the details to themes on the weekly communication. Hopefully these are fun and easy themes for your child and you.
As always, if you have any questions please contact us at Straub at 564-9047.
Thank you,

This week we have started talking about the Character Strong Trait of Respect! We will continue learning about respect for the next few weeks! Please spend some time discussing respect with your student, what does respect look like at home? What does it look like out in public or at school? Enjoy our Respect song linked below and have a wonderful weekend :)

Good afternoon Straub Families!
We hope everyone has enjoyed this beautiful weekend and our students are resting up for another wonderful week at school. We are heading into week four here with Preschool just beginning last week. Reminder that Preschool only attends Monday - Thursday and buses will run a bit faster on that Friday. Our drop off lines took a huge hit this week with the addition of preschool. Remember, our students range from 3-8 years old and are little. Please follow the correct traffic flow and procedures to ensure everyone has a safe drop off.
We have several events this week with celebrations, picture day, Grandparents celebration, afterschool clubs and events.
Be sure to read through the newsletter for this week.
Tomorrow kicks off our RESPECT character in our Character Strong lessons. We hope that you ask your child daily what they are learning, working on and practice their words and fluency with them.
See everyone tomorrow at Straub.
