Message from the Principal
Second quarter is up and running! Thank you to all of our families who attended conferences and to the families who brought dinner items for our staff! Conference day is a long day for us and a good meal makes our day!
Next week is already the start of November. This year is flying by!
Have a great weekend!
October's Character Word is Responsibility
Helping Your Child with RESPONSIBILITY
Parents, we need your help! We're noticing more and more students forgetting items at home and not charging their laptops at night. Please work with your child to create a nighttime routine that includes charging their laptop and gathering everything they will need for school the next day and putting it in one spot, ready to go. While we appreciate you delivering items to school for your child, we would love for our students to take responsibility for their things and save you a trip!
UPDATE! We saw an increase in the number of students carrying their badges and coming to school with their laptops charged. Thanks for your help in creating Responsibility Routines!
The November word is COOPERATION.
Costumes
Many of our kids are excited about dressing up at school on Tuesday. While we are not celebrating formally that day, costumes are allowed. Face paint, face-covering masks, or props will not be allowed. Our normal student dress code should be followed.
Reminder from the Nurse
Any student with prescription medication or over-the-counter medication needs to come to the nurse's office to drop it off. Students are not allowed to have any sort of medication on them unless it is rescue medication, inhaler or epi pen. All medications require a form.
