Principal's Message
As the FCAT and SAT/10 fast approach, this is a reminder to first through fifth grade parents that
the students' scores on these tests are included in the criteria for promotion to the next grade
level.  Although parents received information regarding promotion criteria at the beginning of the
year, it is important that you stay in close contact with your child's teacher regarding the progress
your child is making towards meeting the requirements of his/her grade level.
In addition the state of Florida has mandated that all third graders make a minimum score of 2 (on
a scale of 1-5) in the area of reading in order to be promoted to fourth grade.  We want to assure
parents that students have been receiving instruction all year on grade level benchmarks and
should be well prepared for the formal testing situations.  We appreciate the continued support we
receive from parents!!
We have worked hard all year to be sure our students are prepared for the tests.  We are counting
on parents help to make sure that they get a good nights sleep the night before the test, get a
good breakfast on the morning of the test, and get to school (or the bus stop) on time.  As a team,
we will show that Canopy Oaks students can shine!

The third Tuesday of each month is Canopy Oaks Night at Stevie B's Pizza (located at 1964 West
Tennessee Street, ph: 422-2244). A percentage of all the sales generated by Canopy Oaks
participants is given back to the school.

Don't forget to send in your box tops!   Canopy Oaks receives 10 cents for each box top turned in.
There are a variety of products that box tops are on, so check out the products you buy.  Just clip
them out and send them in with your child.

CHOICE/REASSIGNMENT REMINDER
If you are considering choice/reassignment remember that ALL requests MUST be in by March 1st
to the Reassignment Office on Pensacola Street.  This includes choice/reassignments for sibling
support and for grandfathering.  Remember sibling support applies to a younger child who already
has an older sibling reassigned to Canopy Oaks and grandfathering applies to students who are
presently in 3rd or 4th grade and would like to finish their last 1 or 2 years at Canopy Oaks but
are moving into another school zone in Leon County.

Kindergarten registration is approaching fast.  Registration at Canopy Oaks will be the first two
weeks of May.  The following are kindergarten requirements for registration:
_ Child must turn 5 years old by 9/1/06.
_ Proof of a physical within the past year.
_ Shot records (the blue card).
_ Original birth certificate (the one without the footprints on it).
_ 2 proofs of address (Check with front office to find out what is acceptable).
If you have any questions, please call Janet Allen at Canopy Oaks (488-3301).

Nutrition Tip of the Week
Friendly Heart Foods: Eat more fish!
Omega-3 fatty acids found in oily fish such as mackerel, salmon, tuna and herring help prevent
blood clots from forming and reduce the risk of heart disease.

Physical Activity Tip of the Week
Eat Right and Get Some Sleep:  Along with good nutrition and regular physical activity, adequate
rest is a big part of any formula for fitness and health.  When you get a good night's sleep, you
feel better and are maximizing brain function and energy levels.
