Dear Country Dale Families,

This week I am highlighting the importance of parent-teacher conferences. These conferences are more than just meetings; they are opportunities to strengthen the partnership between home and school. Together, we can create a support system that enables your child to achieve their fullest potential. Some key benefits of participating in these conferences are:

1. Providing a comprehensive view of your child’s academic performance, social development, and classroom behavior.

2. Setting meaningful goals for your child and create strategies to support their learning journey. Your perspective as a parent is invaluable, and your input helps us tailor our approach to meet your child’s unique needs.

3. Sending a powerful message to your child: that their education matters and that you are invested in their success.

Your presence and participation mean the world to your child and to us as educators. We enjoyed meeting with many families last week, and we look forward to collaborating with many more families this week.

Thank you for your continued support and partnership,

Mrs. Nickel

Our first PTO Movie Night of the year is Friday, December 6th at 6:30pm. The StuCrew (Country Dale’s Student Council) has decided on the 2 choices that students will vote on: “If” or “Harold and the Purple Crayon”. Students will decide which movie is shown through a Penny War that will take place at school. (See the flyer above under "School News"). Want to watch one movie over the other? Get your pennies ready, and place it in the jar of your choice. We can’t wait to find out the results!

When: Thursday, December 12th, ALL day

The Forest Park Middle School Drama Club presents the madcap mystery-comedy “Who Killed Elvis?”

When the Verelli family holds an Elvis impersonation contest for their newly renamed business, the “Elvis Ate Here” Inn, a host of star-struck Elvis fanatics shows up with the media in tow. Just what they needed to boost profits! Unfortunately, the Verellis get more than they bargained for. Order up for one “Heartbreak Hoagie,” some “Love Me Chicken Tenders” and an “All Shook Up Shake,” but who asked for two murders?!

Friday, December 6 @ 7:00 p.m.
