Thanks for to all of you who came out for the Halloween parade. We were cutting it close with the temperatures, but happy that our tradition continues! And the snow...one minute it looked like a blizzard one minute all sunny again! BIG thanks to the parents for coming up with creative games and activities for our Wildcats to do during their party. We appreciate you! 💗

This month is busy! Our K-2 Wildcats will be headed to James Hart to see Aladdin and we have picture re-takes. We also have Parent-Teacher Conferences November 20-21. Your child's teacher sent out a Sign Up Genius link for you to choose a time. Conferences are offered both in-person and also via Zoom. Conferences are an important part of understanding how well your child is doing and the areas we will be working on next.

Thank you to all who have already sent in items from below!

The food drive continues through November 16th.

The Scholastic Book Fair is coming to Willow School November 13th-17th and on November 20th during parent teacher conferences. Please head over to Scholastic's website to upload money to your student's e-wallet and preview the books that will be available to purchase
