A Note from the Principal
Audubon Families,
It’s hard to believe it’s already November - where does the time go. First, I want to thank you. Because of your support, our Trunk or Read and Scholastic Book Fair was a huge success. It was wonderful to see so many families here celebrating and enjoying a fun family event. We appreciate your time, work, and generosity!!
We are looking forward to a successful Fun Run sponsored by our PTO. This event is a great way to help fundraise to support our school, and the kids love this event. We also have an upcoming math night that will be a wonderful opportunity to come learn fun ways to practice math at home, practice some new strategies, learn math vocabulary, and connect with members of our faculty.
I appreciate your help in ensuring our school days run smoothly and efficiently: parking in the designated parking areas, dropping off and picking up in the designated areas, getting your children to school on time, keeping your FOCUS information up to date, just to name a few. These are all important pieces for a productive and successful school day. We have been working hard to improve our attendance percentages and lessen our tardies. We need your continued support to improve in both areas.
I want to say thank you for your partnership as we work as a team to create the best learning experience for your child. Your work in providing a caring environment at home that nurtures and respects education provides a solid platform for us to build on. Our work together creates a team of support for your child that allows great learning to happen academically, socially, and emotionally. Thank you for all of your hard work and ongoing support for our hard work.
Do you have a moment to send a quick thank you note or email to a staff member at Audubon? A simple note of appreciation can change a staff member’s day. Positive connections between home and school foster mutual respect, which in turn creates a stronger learning environment for all. We encourage you to share a quick thank you with someone having a positive impact on your child, also having your child sit down to write a note of thanks is always a bright spot in a teacher's day!
Just a quick reminder that Thanksgiving holiday will be for the entire week of November 20th. The office will be closed, and the students will be off from November 20th through the 24th. Students will return to school on November 27th.
I wish you all a very blessed and Happy Thanksgiving with family and friends. Take time to relax and enjoy the little things.
Sincerely,
Candace Jones, Principal
Thank You!

Power up with PENDA!
Congratulations to the following students for being the PENDA Top Performers for their class in October! These students will get to participate in a STEM activity in the Science Lab on Friday, November 17th from 8:15-9:00. Mrs. Saltsman will be getting the PENDA Panda trophies to the top class in each grade level!
*Starting this month (November), we will be changing the criteria for selecting the PENDA Top Performers for each class. The student with the highest average mastery percentage will be selected from each class. (There will need to be a minimum number of lessons completed to qualify. I will get with each grade level to determine what you think will be a fair number.)

Reminders for Friday Lunch
-Students must stay at the picnic tables with their adult. No running around or playing in the courtyard.
-Students cannot bring a friend from class to sit with their parent/adult. Only parents/legal guardians on the child's information forms in FOCUS can eat with a student.
-Parents/Guardians must check in at the front office as a visitor and get a yellow badge. This badge must be worn at all times when on campus.
-Parents/Guardians MUST stay in the courtyard. You cannot walk your child to the restroom or to class.
*Teachers have been reminded that students need to use the restroom before lunch time, so this shouldn't be an issue. :-)
Eat Lunch With Your Student
Parents and Families,
Here is what you need to do if you want to eat lunch with your child:
- Make sure you notify your child’s teacher that you are eating lunch with them, so they can meet you at the tables. If you send an email, please do so in enough time for the teacher to see it before lunch.
- Only Parents and Legal Guardians can eat lunch with their own child(ren).
- Sign in as a Visitor in the Front Office and obtain a yellow name badge (you are not volunteering; you are visiting for lunch).
- You will report to the courtyard and wait on your child. The teacher will release your child to this area when he/she is taking his/her students to lunch.
- This area will be supervised during the entire lunch period.
- If you are not a registered volunteer, you will need to be escorted on and off campus by a staff member.
Every Friday will be available for parent/child lunch. We have limited seating, so you need to sign up through sign-up genius. The link for that is below:
https://www.signupgenius.com/go/60b0a4eaca623a3fe3-eatlunch1#/
Once again, I am happy to share this news with you. I look forward to seeing you and your child enjoy lunch together on Fridays!
Sincerely,
Candace Jones
Principal
