The Husky Herald

Our first Trunk or Treat was so much fun! Thanks to everyone that attended and to those that decorated a trunk. We appreciate everyone's hard work. Our PTA did an outstanding job organizing the event. This week is Red Ribbon Week. We can't wait to see everyone dress up for the spirit days. We will have a student parade for Storybook Character Day. It is optional to participate. Students may bring the book their character represents, or they may bring a piece of paper with the title of the book. We will take photos and post them on our Facebook page to share our love of books.

On Monday, November 11th at 9:00am our 5th graders will lead our entire school in a patriotic assembly to honor our veterans. Veterans will be greeted by our student council members and during the ceremony each veteran will be introduced by their student council escorts so our students can recognize them for their service. A short reception for the veterans will follow the assembly. If your family knows a veteran that would like to be present please fill out these two forms: The first form lists the name of the veteran we will be honoring. The second form is for our guest list so we can welcome the guests attending with the veteran we are honoring. We ask that you include everyone who will be accompanying the veteran that day.

• Talk to your child to see if they will buy breakfast or purchase a snack each day. Many students eat at home and then eat in the cafeteria. Snack or breakfast charges accrue and parents are unsure why there is an amount owed. The student meal purchase history access will be helpful to avoid extra charges.

• Student Meal Purchase History: Families can now access the meal purchase history of their student online via Skyward Family Access. To see this information, families will log into Skyward Family Access and click on "District Links" in the upper right. For more information click HERE.
