From the Principal’s DeskHello and Happy May to all of our Cedar Lane School Community!

It is hard to believe that May is here! We have lots going on, and I want to take this opportunity to share with you some of the excitement that is happening at Cedar Lane Elementary School.

Mrs. Noble and our PTA are doing an awesome job organizing Staff Appreciation Week. Thank you Mrs. Noble, PTA, and our awesome parent community! We are blessed here at Cedar Lane to have such amazing support! Thank you so much Cedar Lane PTA and School Community!

Here is a message from our wonderful Librarian, Ms. Cieslak regarding our Student Council:

Hello Cedar Lane Families,

Please read the following information about the Student Council Pet Supply Drive and upcoming Spirit Days.

5th grade = RED4th grade = ORANGE3rd grade = YELLOW2nd grade = BLUE1st grade = GREENKindergarten = PURPLE

I am very proud of our 5th Grade Students and their recent completion of the DARE 5th Grade Program. I want to congratulate those students who were selected to read their essays:

Eric L.Hannah B.Sara L.Paris A.Ashley G.

With much excitement in the air regarding our BYOT pilot, I want to encourage parents to visit our webpage and take a look at the section with information from Common Sense Media. We are so proud of the work our teachers and students have done in the area of digital citizenship, and we greatly appreciate the partnership we have developed with our parent community. Together, supporting our scholars, the potential for student

achievement and learning is endless!

With more and more of our students engaging in collaborative opportunities and digital communication, the topic of cyberbullying is one that we address and share with our students. If you have any questions or interest in this topic, take a look at the link below and as always, we are here to help support you and your students in this journey!

A big thank you to all who came out and helped during the Spring Clean-Up with Mrs. Ellen McDougall and Mr. Tracey. Spring is here and it is so nice to see the beautification efforts that members of our student body and parent community have worked on to make Cedar Lane such a welcoming and beautiful place to work, learn, & grow!

I also want to thank all of our community for coming out and being a part of our recent basketball game vs. Newton Lee. I loved seeing our school spirit and watching our students be a part of the excitement was truly awesome!

I am anxiously awaiting the opportunity to watch our talented Lions perform at our Talent Show on Friday, May 8th beginning at 6:30 PM. A special thank you to Mrs. Reilly and her team of helpers, as I know so much work goes into to putting on such a great show!

Please find the flier for the Safe Summer Tick Talk on May 11th on page 4.

With SOL Testing beginning next week, I want to wish our 3rd through 5th graders good luck and encourage them to do their best and take this opportunity to show us all that they have learned this school year. Eat a healthy breakfast each morning, get a great night’s sleep, and come in with a positive attitude each day and I know our students will do a wonderful job! Make us proud, Lions!

We are looking forward to hosting our Kindergarten Orientation on May 20th beginning at 7 PM.

Please visit our website regularly as we will be updating with events regularly.

Lastly, in the coming weeks I will be sharing a parent input document allowing you as a parent to share information with our team that will assist us in making student placement decisions for next school year. Please take advantage of this opportunity to share your insights on the best learning environment for your student.

As always, thank you for your continued support and for sharing with our TEAM your wonderful young people! They bring us joy each day!

With Lion Pride,

Bob Marple

Clinic Reminder: TDAP INFORMATIONPlease review your child’s immunization records at your earliest convenience, and if your child has already received their Tdap , Please send a copy of the immunization received, to the Cedar Lane Clinic, to have it recorded in your child’s record prior to starting 6th grade on August 31,2015.

In the school year 2015-2016, all middle school students will be required to have documentation of a pertussis, Tdap not the Dtap, vaccine booster after the age of 7 years. If the vaccine has been given after age 7 years then the requirement has been met. Students MUST have documentation to begin school the 2015-2016 year. If this is not provided to the Cedar Lane clinic, before the end of this school year, you will need to then get this to your child’s new Middle School, before the

start of school on August 31, 2015. A list of student’s we have not received an immunization on is sent to your child’s new Middle School, at the end of the 2014-2015 school year.

Again … No student will be allowed to start school on August 31, 2015 without this immunization. There will be No Grace Period for your child without the vaccine and record of it. Also, if your child will not be eleven before August 31, 2015 and will not have received the vaccine, you must submit a note from your child’s doctor, a medical exemption, if the physician chooses to delay administering the Tdap booster until they are 11. Bring this note to this this clinic before the end of the school year otherwise you will need to deliver it to your Middle School Clinic over the summer.

Cafeteria NotesThe Team at Chez Cedar Lane, would like to thank everyone for making this the best place in the world to work!

We appreciate all the gifts, cards, posters, lunches, breakfast, snacks, and wonderful words from the students, parents and faculty.

We all work hard to bring Nutritious food that is served with an eye appeal and comforting smile.

So, we just want to say Thanks. Your Chez Cedar Lane Team!
