Happy Sunday PK-8 Coyote Families,
It was certainly exciting to see our students back for the second nine weeks. There are a lot of exciting events happening this month. Check out the details below.
PK-8 Scholastic Book Fair, October 23-Nov. 1
Help us promote the importance of books and reading by encouraging students to visit the book fair to find current best sellers. The Scholastic Book Fair is set up in Building B for all our PK-8 students. Students received a flyer this past week with the different titles available at the book fair. More detailed information will be sent out by our awesome PK-8 librarians.
PK-8 Story Book Parade
We are continuing the tradition! Students & staff are encouraged to dress up as a character of their favorite book. Students can also create a book cover/short story for a costume they are already wearing. No scary costumes or masks aloud on this day.
PK-8 Fundraiser - Will you help us raise some "dough" for our school?
Our PK-8 coyotes will be selling Krispy Kreme cards to help fundraise for student and teacher incentives. Your contribution helps us purchase items such as books for our Book vending machine, science lab consumable materials, Attendance Awards, Reading Awards, and incentives for our PBIS store.
Stop by the front office to purchase your Krispy Kreme card. More details found below.
PK-8 Attendance
We take a lot of pride in our attendance at our school. Please help us maintain it at 98%!
1. When your child is absent, please send the doctor's note or parent note within 48 hours.
2. Tardy Bell rings at 7:50am. A student will receive a tardy slip every time they arrive late.
3. When your child is absent, please expect a phone call from our front office or your child's teacher to ensure that your child is ok.
Ready for a Great QT2!
