Get Your AR Points HERE!
Mark your calendars for our fall Book Fair, October 31-November 4! We are excited to share the joy of reading and raise money for our school library at the same time. We will have a wide selection of books for all ages, along with journals, posters, pens, erasers, and more. Proceeds will allow the library to update and add both fiction and nonfiction titles for students to read.
The book fair will be open for shopping Monday and Wednesday before school from 7:45-8:15 am, and during recess, lunch, and after school Monday through Thursday (with Friday lunch being the last chance to shop).
THIS is the time to stock up on your fall and winter reads! AR points are all year long so be sure to choose your favorites at the BOOK FAIR!PARENTS.... You can set up an eWallet with Scholastic now for your kids to shop! SEE BELOW....

OCTOBER IS BULLYING PREVENTION MONTH
Dear Families:
As you may know, we are using the Second Step program in your child’s classroom as their social-emotional learning curriculum (SEL). The Second Step program teaches children important skills for getting along with others and doing well in school. It also helps our school be a safe, respectful place where everyone can learn. As part of National Bullying Prevention Month, all students in K-8th will be going through lessons in the Second Step Bullying Prevention Unit.
In this unit, your child will learn specific skills to help stop bullying. Students will learn how to:
• RECOGNIZE when bullying is happening, REPORT bullying to a caring adult, and REFUSE to let bullying happen
• Be a bystander who helps stop bullying
• Support someone being bullied by standing up for that person and being kind and inclusive
And we need your help, too! Get involved in making our school a safe and respectful place by letting us know if you hear about bullying at our school. Make sure your child knows to tell you or someone at school if he or she is being bullied, or if he or she knows about someone else being bullied. Give your child the clear message that it is never okay to bully others.
If you have any questions about the Bullying Prevention Unit or the Second Step program, please contact me. For more information on our school’s anti-bullying policy and specific procedures, check out our Family Handbook by clicking HERE (page 17 and following).
Thank you for helping us make our school a safe, respectful place where everyone can learn.
