Seymour Newsletter

I am thrilled to reflect on the incredible month of October that we just experienced at Seymour! It was, indeed, an awesome month, filled with achievements, growth, fun activities and a sense of unity that continues to grow here at school! Some events and activities included: Family Night at Flushing Farms, The Seymour Pumpkin Patch, Homecoming Week, Halloween Parties and Parade, and Walk for the Win to name a few.

Speaking about Walk for the Win I wanted to take a moment to express our deepest appreciation for your support during this fundraiser. Your support during this helps to ensure that our students have opportunities in the classroom and beyond to broaden their horizons and enhance their educational experiences. This year we were able to raise over $6,000 dollars that will be used to help support our classroom teachers and allow extra opportunities for our students.

Now we move to November, and it is an exciting time of the year as we approach the holiday season. November is often associated with Thanksgiving, a time for reflection and gratitude. We will be focusing on the character trait of Gratitude during our Positivity Project lessons during the Month of November. Please take time to discuss Gratitude with your students and have them share what they are learning at school.

Seymour Families,

Parent/Teacher Conferences are scheduled for Thursday, November 7th from 4:15 to 8:15 p.m. and Wednesday, November 13th from 4:15 to 8:15 p. This is a great opportunity to communicate with your child's teacher. Conferences give you a better understanding of the grade level expectations, classroom procedures, and your child's overall performance, that often grades alone cannot provide. Also, your child's teacher can relate specific concerns that they many have at this time as well. Come prepared with any questions that you may have about your child's attention during class, how they use their time in class, and if assignments are completed and turned in on time. Your child's teacher is there to provide you with ideas and suggestions on how to keep your child successful while in school. I hope that all parents are able to participate in conferences. If you still need to schedule one, please contact the office at your convenience. We look forward to seeing you all on November 7th or 13th.

Again this year, we will be having our Seymour Elementary Book Fair! All of the fun will take place during the week of November 4th - November 7th. Each classroom will have an opportunity to go to the library and view or purchase from the selection of books during their scheduled library time. All the proceeds from the book fair are used to purchase more books for our Seymour library.

Don't forget to fall back one hour Sunday, November 3rd, 2024! Daylight savings time.

VETERANS' DAY NOVEMBER 11TH! SEYMOUR THANKS ALL OF OUR MILITARY, FORMER AND PRESENT, FOR YOUR SERVICE AND DEDICATION TO OUR COUNTRY!!!
