5th Grade Events Update

Fifth grade families,

As our school year comes to a close, we wanted to send a quick reminder of the remaining events for the school year.

Thursday, May 16^th – 5^th Grade Day

Students will participate in a variety of fun activities throughout the day to commemorate the last few days of 5^th grade. Lunch will be provided to all. Students should wear a Teasley spirit shirt or standard attire shirt and school appropriate bottoms. **The activities are scheduled to take place outdoors weather permitting. Your child may bring a change of clothes to change at the end of the day if necessary.**

Monday, May 21^st 5th Grade Luncheon

Students will be treated to Chick-Fil-A during their normal lunch period. Due to limited space, parents are not invited to attend.  Because this is a potential retest day for the GA Milestone Assessment, there will be no visitors in the school until after 12:00.  

Tuesday, May 22^nd 5th Grade Promotion Ceremony (8:15AM in the Teasley Cafe)

All 5^th grade students will be recognized at this special ceremony. Students should dress to impress. Dresses, dress pants, blazers, suits, and ties are encouraged. NO JEANS PLEASE! Parents are invited to attend a brief reception in the café immediately following the ceremony. Teachers will have sign out sheets at the reception. You are welcome to sign your child out for the remainder of the day following the promotion ceremony. Please remember, Tuesday is an early release day.  In addition, it is a voting day and Teasley is a polling precinct. For this reason, all activities will be limited to the cafeteria.  

Wednesday, May 23^rd 5th Grade Walk (12:05 PM through the halls of Teasley)

Students will make their final walk through Teasley as we send them on to middle school. The walk will begin at 12:05 and dismissal will begin promptly at 12:20. Students are encouraged to wear their class shirt and standard attire bottoms. If you are taking your child with you following the walk, please sign your child out with your teacher.  Thank you! 

Thank you for a wonderful year! We look forward to seeing you as we close out the school year next week.

It’s that time of year again!!  

In order to ensure you receive your child’s report card and other important information please send an 8 ½ x 11, self- addressed envelope with four (4) stamps attached by May 18.
