Winter Weather reminder
Winter weather is upon us. Students will have outdoor recess unless it's below zero, and students should have the appropriate gear for outdoor recess; winter coat, hats, gloves (and snow pants and boots when appropriate if they want to be on the non-blacktop area).
Additionally, it is helpful to have kids' coats, snow pants, and other items (such as water bottles) labeled as it will be easily identified if it ends up in the lost and found.
REMINDERS FOR Orchestra Families
Ms Mezera is communicating the changes in practice time to the Orchestra students, so this is just an added reminder about the changes in orchestra practice thru winter break.

Picture Retakes!
If your student wasn't photographed on picture day or they want to retake their picture, they will have the opportunity for a retake on December 6th. If you ordered a package and want to have a retake, please send the original picture package with your child to school on the 6th.
Inter-state Studio has made it easy to order online. See the flyer for detailed information and the order code for online orders.
