Asteroid Florence! Yes, there was a close-Earth encounter before dawn this morning. You can check out the link in the Links section of this website.
New After-school Class - There's a new class through Parker-Anderson to be offered at Keppel on Tuesdays, 2:30-3:30pm. We had a visitor this afternoon and many were interested, but we forgot to pass out the forms at the end of the day. The class is limited to 20 students, and there are already 6 enrolled, so you should get online this weekend if you're interested. Here's a photo of the mini-flyer:
PTA - Thanks to all who have already joined PTA. By my count, nine families have joined, putting us at 35%. But this doesn't include families that may have joined through a sibling. Our goal: 100% participation, meaning every family registers at least one adult. The first PTA event is coming up next Friday: the Back-to-School Picnic!

PBIS has had a "soft rollout" at Keppel. We are using the school-side matrix throughout the school, and in room 1321 we are using the third grade matrix for the time being. As we work with it, we will modify it to fit our classroom. You have a copy of both the school-wide and third grade matrices in your folder. Once we have our own room 1321 matrix, I'll send a copy home. Friday update: We had our first all-school reward, which was a popsicle treat for those chosen. Ask your child about this.
