Please RSVP: I hope you can join us on Friday, November 22 for our next PSO meeting. Please click below to RSVP (we want to make sure we have enough donuts of course!).

Cold Weather Planning: As I shared earlier this week, it's Deer Hill's goal to have outdoor recess whenever possible. If the feels like temp is 20 degrees or above, we will have outdoor recess. We tend to use the weather app that is standard on an iphone but will sometimes cross-reference if it's iffy. Please make sure that your students leave the house today (and moving forward) dressed for the weather. We do not have alternative supervision for children who are not dressed appropriately. For your reference, here are some guidelines that we reference when making our outdoor/indoor recess decisions.

Honoring Our Veterans: Deer Hill has a longstanding tradition of participating in the annual town Veterans Day ceremony to honor our veterans as well as holding our own assembly each year. This year, six Deer Hill grade 5 students read their writing to an appreciative crowd at both events. At our school assembly on Tuesday, we were honored to have several service members with ties to our community join us as special guests. Additionally, 3rd grade students continued their practice of writing personal letters to veterans, and 4th graders created informational posters for display in our school and (for the first time!) in local businesses. Thank you to all who have served.
