October is an eventful month, learning is in full swing, and fall is in the air. We are thrilled to be part of your child’s education during this exciting time.

This time of year is one of my favorites! The leaves changing to vibrant colors, the smell of campfires, and all of the yummy pumpkin spiced foods. Within the next few weeks, if you visit the school, take in a moment to just stop and look at the trees around the school. For the last 7 years, when the leaves begin to change colors, I drive a little slower as arrive in the morning. The trees around the school always have such vibrant colors. I just have to enjoy the moment and take in the beauty that we have around us.

Fall Break is next week! Please take time to build memories with your children! Apple Festival is next weekend, there are many pumpkin patches around, or simply just enjoy game time with your family. Building memories and giving your children valued family time without technology, will build memories and give you time with them you can not get back.

I recently went to a restaurant with my family. One thing we noticed, is other families were eating together, but not actually talking. They had devices out at the table and were on their devices. Consider taking a card game to dinner with you while you wait for your food, or just simply do not have the devices out. Talking with your children and sparking conversation, will help develop many communication skills your child will need to be successful in life.

Enjoy break everyone,

Heather Green

If you do not receive one, please call the school and we will get a conference scheduled for you.

Even though most children truly learn how to read in school, it does not diminish the importance of reading in the home. By incorporating the following suggestions into the home life, you increase the chances of your child becoming a student who learns the skills of reading and who also becomes a lifelong reader. Be a reader: Keep a book you are reading on a coffee table or other place children can see it. Read a newspaper, magazine, or a book at a time when children see you reading. Use the library: Public libraries are not only places to check out books, but have great children and family activities.

Read to your children: Just 10 minutes a night can make a huge difference. Read to your child, or have your child read to you. Turn off the TV and computer: Set aside some time during each day when no electronic devices are used. Encourage reading and discussion during those times. By creating a reading environment all around us, we help our children become readers themselves.

If your child is sick or will not be at school, a phone call MUST be made to the school to report the absence by 10:00am. Phone calls will be made to make contact. Doctor’s notes are encouraged.

Also, please be sure all messages for students are called into the office by 1:30. This is to ensure all messages are given to students before they leave school every day. We will do our very best to make sure students receive these messages.

Thank you!

Teachers may be reached anytime through their email address here at school. If you would like this address please call the office and we will be happy to give it to you. Each class room has voice mail, so we can at times transfer there, but we cannot disturb class when it is in session, unless it is an emergency.
