Dear Parent(s)/Guardian(s),

Thank you so much for helping to make our first week of school, run so smoothly! Students have been on time and ready to learn. We are off to a super start to our school year at Antheil Elementary.

As you know at Antheil, safety is a priority for our students. Throughout the school year, we will hold two safety drills per month. The safety drills will consist of a fire drill and one additional drill that may include an evacuation, lockout, lockdown or shelter-in-place drill. Furthermore, teachers will practice the safety procedures in the classrooms with the students so they are prepared. Additionally, we will have the following activities in October to promote safety awareness:

October(Week of Respect and Anti Violence

o Week of Respect- October 6th to October 10th

o Fifth graders participate in the morning announcements, defining and giving examples of ways in which RESPECT-ful behaviors and actions enhance our life together at Antheil Elementary School Pre-K-5

o Anti-Violence week- October 14th to October 20th

o “Pause for Peace Week” Peacemaking tools and activities presented in K-5 classroom lessons; morning announcements present biographies of exemplary, historical peacemakers

Pre-School, Kindergarten and First Grade

During the month of October, Antheil will increase Kindergarten students’ fire safety awareness by organizing a visit by from the Ewing Township Fire Companies. Students will observe the fire trucks and receive information on fire safety and prevention from the firefighters

We look forward to working with you and your child to make this a safe, educational and fun school year!

Sincerely,

Jennifer Whitner

Principal
