Hi Parents,
It's the time of year when the calendar begins to fill up quickly, both at home and at school! I have many things to tell you about.
Fall Party:
I hope to see some of you at our Fall Party on Wednesday. It begins at 1:30 pm in our classroom. Please sign in at the office and get a visitor pass before coming to our classroom. Please note that our office is not allowing parents to take children home via early dismissal from the party. Our office is also asking all parents to leave the building by 2:20 pm. Since no costumes are allowed that day, please help your child contribute to our festive atmosphere by dressing in something orange or Halloween themed (a Halloween shirt, hair ribbon, etc.).
Turkey of the Year:
Turkey of the Year voting began today, and will continue for the next few Fridays! Your child must read to vote for the staff member he/she would like to see come to school dressed in a turkey suit. One hour of reading equals one vote. Each Friday, please sign and return that week's voting slip, which came home in last week's Thursday folder. If you lost the voting slips, please write a note to indicate how many hours your child read during the previous week, sign it, and send it to school on Friday.
Parent Teacher Conferences:
Conferences have begun! If your conference is in the morning before school, I will meet you at the front door of the school to let you in since our office staff may not yet be here. You will not need to sign in. If your conference is after school, please ring the school visitor bell, be prepared to show your photo id to our office staff, and sign in at the office. You may walk to our classroom after you sign in.
