February Newletter

  • Our PTA Snowball Dance will be Friday, February 28th, 6-8pm in the Longfellow Gym.  Cost is $2 per family for PTA members and $5 per family for non-PTA members.  There will be dancing, photo booth, raffle baskets and snacks for purchase.  Hope to see you there!
  • SAVE THE DATE!  Longfellow Literacy Night will be Tuesday, March 4th from 5:30-7:30pm.  Please return the RSVP form if you plan on attending - this event is open to all Longfellow families.
  • SAVE THE DATE!  The WAWM "Three to Get Ready" event is open to all 3-year-olds living in West Allis/West Milwaukee.  The event will take place on Saturday, March 22nd at Irving Elementary School.  Parents can receive information on their child's development through several stations with district experts.  There is no cost - just contact the main office to make an appointment. 
  • Please make sure students are dressed appropriately for the weather.  We will go outside for recess if the temperature is above 10 degrees (with the wind chill).  Students are expected to go outside for recess unless they have a medical excuse.  Please send hats, gloves, boots, snow pants, and jacket (labeled with student name) every day.  If you need assistance obtaining these items for your child, please contact the main office.  We'd be glad to help you out - Thanks for your cooperation!
  • Our lost and found continues to be "overflowing".  If you are missing any items, please check!  Unclaimed items will be donated monthly.  
  • PASS Program - There will be NO PASS program the week of March 31-April 4.  Teachers will use that time to review data and determine 4th quarter PASS groups.  Parents will receive notification if their child is being dismissed or added to the program.  4th quarter PASS groups will begin on April 7th. 
  • Winter MAPS testing continues until February 28th.  Our students are doing a great job using the new web-based MAPS testing system.  Students in grades 2-5 took the test on their iPads this time - way to go!
  • MARK YOUR CALENDARS - our 2nd semester conference dates are April 3rd and May 12th.  
 Writing: Students in room 104 are analyzing their own writing and conferencing with me to come up with a personalized writing goal.
