Upper Nyack Elementary School SCOOP

Please be reminded that we do not dress up for Halloween in the elementary schools. We had a wonderful Trunk or Treat Event last Friday which hopefully allowed our children to enjoy the festive spirit with their classmates. On Monday, October 31, we ask that students DO NOT come with costumes, masks, face paint or accessories. Thank you for your cooperation.

Please be reminded that our PICTURE MAKEUP DAY is Friday, November 18!!

Wednesday, November 23 is a half day before Thanksgiving at UNES. We are currently developing plans to organize our school community around the idea of being grateful for all we have in our lives.

Students will be learning about WHAT GRATITUDE IS AND HOW CAN WE SHOW IT. They will be conducting read alouds and having classroom experiences focused on GRATITUDE. Additionally, we're working on inviting local community helpers to receive letters of gratitude from our students and we've reached out to police, fire, ambulance, hospital, DPW and local government. If there are parents in our school community who work in the public sector serving our Nyack community, please have them get in touch so we can include them!!

There are archives of my community newsletter on the UNES WEBSITE - CLICK HERE, as well as on the UNESPTA Website (coming soon). If you can't find the old newsletters and are looking for info - you can find that info in these two places.
