Attendance: Parents and families are essential partners in promoting good attendance because they have the bottom-line responsibility for making sure their children get to school everyday. Just as parents should focus on how their children are performing academically, they have a responsibility to set expectations for good attendance and to monitor their child’s absences so that missed days don’t add up to academic trouble. Please let us know if you need assistance getting your child to school; we are happy to partner with you! All Grand Blanc Community Schools are on “the five day plan”– are you?

Home School connection: Your youngster can combine a little water and soap to have a lot of fun with

Surface tension. You’ll need: eyedropper, cup of water, nickel, liquid soap, towel

Here’s how: Let your child use the eyedropper (or drip water from his fingertip) to slowly put water on the nickel, counting how many drops it holds before the water washes over the edge. Have him dry off the nickel, add a few drops of soap to the water, and repeat the experiment. What happens? The nickel will hold a surprising amount of regular water, but not nearly as much soapy water. Why? Water molecules are tightly stuck together, creating what’s called surface tension. That’s what keeps the water from flowing over. Soap breaks apart the water molecule bonds, decreasing the Surface tension. Real-world fact: This is why soap helps clean dishes. It breaks apart the water molecules so they mix with grease and wash it off dishes.

Parents corner: Our Art teacher is in need of news paper to cover the tables, if you could help her out by bring some in it would be greatly appreciated . You may bring them to the main office and we will get them down to her room.
