School HighlightsTimbertail Chess Club!
Calling all Timbertails! Forest Glen 1st Grade and 3rd Grade Chess Club Signup is Open! Is your 1st or 3rd grader interested in chess? Signup for a recess chess club is open until January 12th. See attached flyer for details. 1st Grade Flyer 3rd Grade Flyer We'd love to expand our club to include 2nd and 4th graders! We are looking for at least one parent volunteer from each grade to help supervise the fun during one recess a week. Chess experience helpful, but not necessary. You'll learn while your child learns! Contact Noelle Stuelpner, Parent Volunteer, at mailto:[email protected] or 262.573.5507. DRESS FOR THE WEATHER
Please remember to send your child with appropriate outer wear each day. This should include winter jacket, snow pants, boots, mittens/gloves and hat. Please remember to label all items with child's name. As a rule all children go outside daily when the weather temperature, factoring in the wind chill, is at or above zero degrees. This can be a long time when you feel chilled! Some students are also walking to and from school and some may be standing at a bus stop for several minutes. We want all our children to stay healthy so they can do their best at school! Music Notes See what's happening in music at Forest Glen by checking out Forest Glen Music Room Facebook page! Attention 4th grade parents! Our Fourth Grade students will be learning to play the recorder as part of their music classes. Recorder lessons will be integrated into their music classes with the goals of applying their music reading and group playing skills along with developing recorder technique and preparing them for their fifth grade music classes. Each student will need one recorder. Due to the wide variety of recorders that are available to purchase, students will need to either purchase one through the school or have their own recorder from home approved by the music teacher during music class. (No wooden or toy recorders will be accepted). Students will receive their recorders in February when we start the unit and they may keep their recorders at the end of the school year. For more information, recorder form, and to purchase a recorder, click here ! Lineville Intermediate School Music Choices In March parents of 4th graders will be asked to choose a 5th grade music class. Course descriptions and registration information will be available on March 14th, and parents and students will learn about band, chorus, and orchestra classes at Lineville. A selection must be made and the registration completed within two weeks. Parents who desire more information at this time are invited to visit the music class websites, which are linked to the Lineville home page: http://linevillehssd.weebly.com Importance of School Attendance!If your child will be absent due to an appointment, it is recommended that you attain an excuse from your provider for the date and time of the visit and return the excuse to the school office. This will ensure that the absence is noted as an excused absence or tardy. Appointment cards will NOT be accepted as an excuse.
Call to report your child's daily absence by calling the school's attendance line at 662-7990. NEW!!

EMERGENCY CLOSINGS AND DELAYS
Inclement weather may necessitate the closing or delay of schools. If schools are closed this will also include the cancellation of extracurricular activities and the events in the community pool unless otherwise announced. Please listen to local radio or television stations for school closings or delays. Such weather may also deter students from going outside during the school day.
