Families - Our 4th grade students will be leading our Leadership Assembly on Thursday, November 7th. Habit 2's focus is Begin with the End in Mind. Each homeroom classroom has selected a Leader of the Month and they will be recognized at this assembly. We encourage the parents of our Leaders to come join the celebration.

Permission forms have been sent home this week for your child to participate in a free dental screening. This is in partnership with Woodland Dentistry. Each child will leave with a goody bag that consists of a toothbrush, tooth paste and dental floss. If the provider sees a potential concern the provider will send a note home to the family.

Families - we would like to honor our Veterans at a school wide assembly on Monday, November 11th at 1:50pm. Fourth Grade will be hosting this special event. Also if all students will wear red, white or blue shirts with denim or solid colored pants. And I have included a Microsoft Form for families to put in their Veteran's information to be included in our program that day.

Families - It has been a very busy week with Red Ribbon Activities, Books Alive Character Day, Channel 2 Weather event and #BESTDAYEVER. Check out some of the great pictures below of all the great learning activities.

Intramural Basketball Registration for grades 3rd-5th will open on Wednesday, October 23rd. The fee is $50 until Nov. 13th. Late registration is $65.

This is a great opportunity to get kids and families plugged into athletics, without the high costs and commitment of other youth club sports.

Parent’s as our children engage in school activities, they forget until the last minute to go to the toilet. This unfortunately leads to not making it in time to the toilet and getting their clothes wet or dirty. All grade levels PK to 5th, should have an extra change of clothing. Not just for potty accidents, but sometimes milk is spilled or we slip in the mud when it has been raining. So please, pack a weather appropriate change of clothing in their backpack. Thank you!

Below is our school calendar with all holidays, professional development days, virtual days and early release dates. Please mark your calendar.

Families - Just a reminder that Friday, September 6th is our first early release day. School is dismissed 40 minutes earlier. Elementary dismissal will be at 2:17pm. Please be sure to make arrangements to come early on Fridays from September 6th - April 11th.

Families - Our PTA is doing a fundraiser to wish students a "Happy Birthday" on the school Marquee on the day of their birthday. A $5 donation gets your name on the Marquee on you birthday, and a $10 donation gets your name on the Marquee and a birthday photo card sent home. Please support our PTA with this fundraiser. The form to sign up is attached below.

Families - If you get a new phone number or address please be sure to send a note or call the office to update your information. This is a safety issue as we need to be able to get ahold of parents in the event of an emergency.
