Parent teacher Conferences can be scheduled by clicking on the link below:
http://www.ptcfast.com/schools/John_J_Flynn_Elementary_School If you would like to sign up via phone, contact Karen Carr at 864-8478. The Flynn goal is to meet with every family. Ask your particular teacher, but most teachers welcome their students to be part of the conversation. Talk to your child about what is working well at school, where they are having challenges and what they would like to focus on going forward. Being reflective and taking responsibility for their schoolwork are necessary life skills that you can help foster
Frankenstein Update Pressure is on now that we are getting close to our production date. Make sure your kiddoes are getting plenty of water and rest so there are in top form! The play committee has a new communication tool to help keep everyone up to date about play happenings. Check out our wiki (like in wikipedia) for updates, contacts, Frankenstein songs, costume info, volunteer info, make-up plans... It is all there - and if it is not, we will get it there! http://jjflynntheatreprogram.wikispaces.com/UPDATE
There is a Frankenstein production meeting this Thursday at 6pm in the teacher's lounge - this will be a quick pep rally to get everyone up to date on our final weeks - We need plenty of help at all stages - if you have not yet signed on for something, we rely on your gift of time. Hope to see you at the meeting or email flynnschoolpto@gmail.com to inquire about volunteer needs.
Speaking of gifts. Play families can contribute to the Flynn school Theatre Fund safely on-line via INLU.com. Click this link: http://www.inlu.com/registry?key=1AMYXHCNN61897
