Hello Maple Grove Families!
I am sending this newsletter a day early to make sure you know about our upcoming conference sign up starting tomorrow (Monday). Please read the information below so you know when you can expect to get access to the links to sign up for Parent/Teacher Conference.
Conference Sign Up Information:
We are beginning our conference sign up THIS WEEK! You will receive an email with links to each classroom teacher to sign up for a Teacher-led conference. Conferences will be 15 minutes long, and it is our hope that you will be able to sign up for times that work best for your family. Knowing that many of our families have multiple children to attend conferences for, we wanted to ensure families with multiples could attempt back-to-back conferences on the same day. With this in mind, we will be sharing the links to sign up with families with multiple children first, followed by families with only 1 child at Maple Grove later in the week. Thank you for your support as we try a new system for conference sign up, and reach out with any questions.
Picture Makeup Day Moved:
Our Picture retake day has been moved to October 29. Please reach out to Gale in our front office with any questions: 558-2471.
October 31st Fun: Mark Your Calendars!
This year, our Maple Grove staff have decided to start a new tradition; a Fall Costume Parade. On October 31, in addition to our Fall Parties, we will be including a costume parade around Jackson Park. Students will be able to bring a costume to school with them, put it on in the afternoon, and march around Jackson Park in our first ever costume parade. Don't have a costume? Don't worry! I will have a selection of costumes to lend out for the parade if a child doesn't have one to wear.
We are inviting all families to come join us for the parade (younger siblings can dress up and join in on the fun, too!). At the completion of the parade parents may take their children home with them to start their own fall celebrations if they like. The parade will begin at 3:00 at Jackson Park. See the flyer below for more information about what costume items may (and may not!) be worn to school. We hope to see you there!
Have Extra Costumes Lying Around?
If you'd like to donate any costumes to our school to keep and lend out each year, please feel free to drop those off in the main office or send them with your child to school in a bag marked "Donation". We know not every family may have a costume to wear, but we'd love everyone to be a part of the fun. Gently used dress up clothes, costumes, princess dresses, etc. would be welcome!
It's a great day to be a Grizzly!
