Mark Twain Elementary School -

We have a new November Leader in Me Newsletter focusing on our Habit of the Month: Begin with the End in Mind https://5il.co/11a5z #marktwain #westicktogether #leaderinme

Information regarding the parade at Mark Twain today at 1:15 The weather looks like it is going to cooperate so we should be able to have the parade outside!! *Parking is limited at Mark Twain. We will have additional parking on the blacktop – which can be accessed from the front drive. Other parking is available between the ball fields (please access this path from Smith Drive) or at the football field. *Visitors will stand behind the caution tape to watch the parade. *IF YOU ARE PLANNING ON TAKING YOUR STUDENT HOME FROM THE PARADE: Once the parade is over, find the cone for your student’s teacher (cones will be on the east side of the back circle drive). The teacher will come to the cone and have you sign out your child. After signing them out, your child is free to leave. *Because regular dismissal will start at 2:10, we ask that all visitors leave immediately after the parade or immediately after signing your student out.

Don't forget tomorrow is Mark Twain Domino's pizza fundraising night. Order Domino's tomorrow between 4 & 8 and help support Mark Twain!

I am so proud of our Mark Twain students and teachers this year and appreciate the support of the families too! Together we were able to turn a challenging year into a very successful one. Please take a look of our school wide data this year to see how many sight words we collectively came to kindergarten knowing and how many we know now; and how many reading levels we collectively could read at the beginning of the year, compared to how many we can read now!! These results are worth celebrating! #marktwain #westicktogether -Mrs. Titus
