Scotchtown Avenue students
celebrate National Library Week
This year, the
Scotchtown Avenue Elementary School librarians
selected the theme of “Driven to Read” for the
school wide celebration of National Library Week.
Racing flags and numerous posters of race cars
decorated the walls of the library in order to
excite students about the library, books and
reading.
The students designed their own bookmark around the
racing and reading theme and discussed libraries,
reading and books and the importance of celebrating
library week during their library classes. |

honor of National Library Week. Ross has published
more than 35 picture books and two of his books,

Dismissal, absences and pickups...it's
time to review!
Dear Parents and
Guardians,
From time to time, we need to review safety
procedures and practices while in school. The
following points are regarding dismissal, absences
and pickups:
- Please
remember that the instructional day does not end
until approximately 3:20 p.m. Please refrain
from picking up your child between 3-3:20 p.m.
This is an exceptionally critical time of the
school day. When your child is picked up early,
he/she is missing instructional time, class
meetings and directions for homework. When a
child leaves the classroom, two other children
must escort them to the nurse’s office and they
also miss instructional time. We are looking for
your assistance with this issue.
