Weaver Families:
Wow! What a great way to kick off the first week of 2nd quarter. Thank you to all of the families who joined us for Pumpkin Night this past Thursday. We had a great turn out. We loved getting the chance to connect with all of you. Also, thank you to all of the families who participated in Parent/Teacher Conferences last week. If you have not had a chance to connect with your child's teacher, you can still do so this coming week. Please message your child's teacher through Seesaw or call the office to set up a time.
- Parent-Teacher Conferences continue this week.
- There will be NO SCHOOL on Monday, November 4th or Tuesday, November 5th.
- If your student is going to be absent, call the office at (417)523-1200 and let Sussie know.
- Please call the office before 2:30 if you have a transportation change for your student.

Title VI Indian Education Grant Information
“Springfield Public Schools receives the Title VI Indian Education Formula Grant Program, which is used to offer additional educational services for eligible Native American and Alaskan Native students. We have used the grant to provide tutoring, college prep materials, resources to support cultural awareness, and additional counseling support to students.
If you feel your child or children are eligible for this grant (have tribal membership themselves, or have a parent/grandparent with tribal membership), please complete this Title VI application form and return it to the school office. If you would like a paper copy of the form, they are also available in the school office.”

Teacher/Staff Shout Outs
What is connection and why is it important?
Four Elements of Connection
These four elements are critical to learning and required to truly connect with others. Having connections with others can help to form and strengthen neural pathways/connections in the brain.
