"Patience is the training in abiding

with the restlessness of our energy

and letting things evolve

at their own speed."

- Pema Chödrön

This week at Fletcher, our newest Falcons landed in room CC2. They did a phenomenal job learning classroom routines, getting to know each other, and learning all about the school. Mrs. Sperry is a natural in her new role. Next week we'll be announcing her co-teacher once the hiring is made official.

Can you believe we're almost 1/3 of the way through the year?! On Wednesday, teachers spent the afternoon preparing Trimester One report cards. The Trimester officially ends on November 9th. That's less than two weeks away! November 9th is also a minimum day and November 10th is the Veteran's Day holiday. The following week is dedicated to student conferences. Every day will be a minimum day November 13th-17th. The next week is the Thanksgiving Break from the 20th-24th.

Next week TRUNK or TREAT returns on Tuesday afternoon up on the blacktop. Students may wear costumes to school that day with the following expectations:

• Masks must not cover the entire face
• No blood, gore (fake injuries)
• No fake weapons of any kind (swords/knives/guns)
• No metal spikes
• Dress code standards must be followed (midriff and undergarments covered)

This week, your student brought home an incredibly important survey called the Federal Impact Aid Survey. It's also available on the PowerSchool Parent Portal. It takes LESS THAN TWO MINUTES TO COMPLETE. This survey is crucial to ensuring Fletcher Elementary receives the appropriate level of funding to support our students. If you can't find the form in your student's backpack and are unable to log into the Parent Portal, the form is linked below in English and Spanish. Paper copies are also available in the front office. Forms are DUE NOVEMBER 8th. Our goal is 100% participation! You can also download the forms at home, print, and return. Click either of the links below.

This week's Student of the Week is Avery in Mrs. Quaal's 3rd/4th grade class. Avery is a great student, always paying attention, participating, and working hard. She is a great friend to others, and offers to help her peers. Well done, Avery! Thanks for exemplifying what it means to be a leader at Fletcher Elementary School!
