Cooper Landing School Updates
First Semester Title 1 Meeting
From Principal McKibben: Thank you for those that participated in the Doodle poll to find a common time when we can hold our semester 1, Title I meeting. The date and time that worked best for the most people was Monday, November 20 from 5:00 - 6:00. Please mark this date and time on your calendar and I’ll send out the Zoom link when we are closer to the date.
PAC Officers
We are in need of a PAC president, secretary, and treasurer. It sometimes becomes difficult to conduct the business of the PAC without officers. Please consider volunteering.
Swags
I just spoke with Cadre Feed, the supplier of our pine boughs, and they are saying that delivery will be delayed this year. We may not get them until after Thanksgiving. I am hoping that this won't deter people from purchasing one (or more)!
Price is $25 each. Please email Donna at dtucker@kpbsd.org or call 595-1244 to order yours. No need to pre pay. Thanks for your support!

Winter Gear
Please make sure your child has a warm jacket, hat, gloves, and when the snow falls, snow pants and boots. If it is convenient for you, and your child has extras, these things can be kept at the school. Please make sure to label each item with your child's name.

Hope School Happenings
Hope School PTO annual pie auction. Please see Tahneta Stroh for donations. Your donations will go to support our students. We appreciate your kindness in donations during this event. The smell will be so wonderful all through Hope. Chugach Electric linemen and other employees may smell it and decide to stay all winter and I know none of us would have a problem with that. This year I think our auction will be a really delightful event.
DOT cameras seem to be up and working. If any of you do not know about https://511.alaska.gov/map , you should check it out. It is just another tool we can utilize to plan a safe trip or know when you may want to cancel a trip. DOT updates the sight fairly regularly and you can view the cameras along the route you plan to travel.
TOT TIME IS BACK TUESDAY AND THURSDAY EACH WEEK SEE ATTACHED FLYER FOR DETAILS
November 21st: PIE AUCTION at 6:00 PM at HOPE SCHOOL
November 23 - 24th: No School - Holiday
Volunteers and Substitute Teachers: Hope School is always happy to have substitute teachers and volunteers. Opportunity is available for both positions currently. Please consider one or both positions https://www.applitrack.com/kpbsd/onlineapp/default.aspx?Category=Volunteer+Screening+Process
