The Bluejay

Parents, your student's teachers have posted P/T conference sign ups in their newsletters and ROOMS. They will be held on Oct. 22nd and 24th from 4-8pm. It is our goal to have 100% parent participation in P/T Conferences. We hope you'll take this opportunity to collaborate with your child's teacher and learn about the progress your student in making.

Who LOVES waiting in LONG lines to purchase your tickets? If you didn't raise your hand, I have an opportunity for you to avoid those long lines. Your student is bringing home a Carnival Budget packet this week. This will allow you the opportunity to plan out your evening and pre-order your tickets and raffle tickets for the evening. We'll bundle everything up for you and have it ready to pick up in a separate location than the ticket booths the night of the carnival. Pre- Sale forms will be sent home next week and will be due Oct. 16th.

*Please note: All games AND concessions only accept tickets. Cash and checks will only be accepted at the ticket booths.

Is your child missing a jacket, hoodie, lunch box, or water bottle? You might have some luck finding it on the Lost & Found rack. Parents may stop by anytime to take a peek at the rack anytime. Please check in at the PK-2 office first.

Every month, with the help of their amazing teachers, we will choose readers of the month here in the library! We will choose one student from each grade K-5. This student will receive a Reader Of The Month Certificate, get to pick a prize from our treasure box and they will get their picture taken and put on our bulletin board outside the library. This is a fun way to keep the kids interested in reading and they have been very excited about it! We are excited to share them with you!

October's Habit of the Month is Habit 1: Be Proactive. Each morning during morning meeting with Mrs. Teague we will be talking about the various ways we can be proactive at school, home, and daily living. Being proactive means taking responsibility for your actions and choices. Instead of reacting to situations or waiting for things to happen, proactive individuals focus on what they can control and make decisions that align with their goals and values. This habit encourages children to think ahead, anticipate challenges, and take initiative, helping them develop a positive mindset and become problem-solvers. By fostering proactivity, we empower our kids to shape their own futures and respond thoughtfully to life's ups and downs.
