Dear Amanda Learning Community,

          Welcome back from our holiday break! It is hard to believe that half of our school year is over and now we are beginning the second semester.   There are a couple of events to note for this month:
"        January 12 & 13 2nd Quarter Honors Assemblies - On Thursday, January 12 we will recognize students in grades K-2 and on Friday, January 13 we will honor Grades 3-5. Both assemblies will begin at 3:00 pm in the Amanda gym. Thank you to all the parents and grandparents for coming to our awards ceremony!
"        January 9  Report Cards will be sent home. In February, we will be having Parent/Teacher Conferences on February 15 & 16.
"        January 24  We will begin the After School Program for students in Grades 3-5. This program is for students who have been identified by their teachers as being at risk of passing the Ohio Achievement Assessment. The After School Program will be on Tuesday and Thursday from 4-5 pm. Transportation will be provided for those students living in the Amanda attendance area. Letters will be mailed home to those students who are being invited to attend. Amanda teachers will be teaching this program.
"        January 11 & 25  Early Dismissal Days. School will dismiss at 2:45 pm.
"        January 16  No School/Martin Luther King Jr. Day

Thank you for your help with our arrival and dismissal procedures!
Reminders:
"        In the morning please remember to use the Drop Off Zone for dropping students off. When walking your child into the building, park your car along the grass area and not in the center of the blacktop area. The parallel lines are used only during our afternoon dismissal.
Officer King will be present several mornings and afternoons to help maintain our arrival and dismissal procedures.

As always, thank you for your support as we continue working toward our vision:
Achieving Excellence Together!

Sincerely,
Dr. Candace L Dillon
