November 27-29: Thanksgiving Break

Student-Led Conferences are scheduled for November 25th from 10 AM to 8 PM and November 26th from 8 AM to 1 PM. These take the place of traditional parent teacher conferences and help ensure the main stakeholder in a student's education is present, the students themselves! All parents are invited to attend. If a teacher has any concerns about your child’s progress you will receive an email the week of November 11th inviting you to sign-up for conferences. A link will be included in the weekly update on November 15th to all families to sign-up.

The cold weather is nearly upon us which means it is the time of year when a good book, a warm blanket, and maybe even a cup of hot chocolate are the perfect tools for building a great afternoon. If your student is looking for a good read, the NY Times Best Seller list is a great place to start! Click here for the current best-sellers with links to trailers for each book. Just click the image of the book to watch.

Enjoy and happy reading!

Art club sign-up is open for the first two weeks of November.

After a four-week hiatus, CLC visits will begin again during the week of November 4. Students may access the Flex Form if they need to visit on days other than when they are scheduled.

• District 3’s CLC’s catalogs are Online. Find them in the FRG Bookmarks and see what’s new.
