OTHER NEWS:
Halloween Parade will begin shortly after school starts (8:00ish) on Friday, October 29th...so make sure your child comes in costume. Please don't send any pretend weapons for the Halloween parade and party...save them for Trick or Treating...

Class party starts at 1:30 - 2:25 (Feel free to come...be sure to wear your costume!)

The BIG room puts on a "SPOOK ALLEY" every year in the gym. Kindergarten is invited to go. I have made an executive decision this year to take them with the lights on. In the past, they think they can make it and it's too scary. Please let me know if you would not like your child to go in at all.

As PARENT/TEACHER conferences ease up on us...NOVEMBER 10th and 11th...is there a day that works better for you? or a time? I usually begin conferences around 3:00 and set aside 3o minutes. Please email me personally if you have a specific request!
