Mattos Community Walk/Halloween Parade- October 31st @ 8:45 a.m.
Dear Mattos Families,
This past Saturday, Mattos was THE place to be! Our Fall Festival was a huge success thanks to so many of our families and staff who attended. This is one of the biggest fundraisers for our Mattos PTA and your support helps make Mattos the special place that it is. A huge shout out to the fabulous team of Ann O., Danyele D., Farida B., Grace E., Jennifer P., Kiira G., and Rachel V. for all their hard work to make this event successful!
Our 5th graders are going to science camp for the first time in a long time! In order to help offset the costs, they are having a See's Candy Holiday Fundraiser. Please see the flyer below and spread the word. Orders close November 17th.

Attendance Matters
It’s a myth that only unexcused absences are causes for concern. Health-related absences may be marked as excused, yet time away from the classroom is a lost opportunity to learn and make connections. There are steps families and schools can take to try to limit health-related absences. We worked with a number of national health organizations on guidance that clearly communicates that students can attend with minor illnesses, and discusses when kids should stay home and seek advice from a health provider. For guidance as to when to keep your child home, please see Health Guidance for Going to School.
