Good Afternoon!
I hope you all had a nice weekend! I cannot believe the end of October is almost here already! We have another fun-filled and busy week ahead, please review the info below:
1) Reading folders are coming home today with our review sheets. Due to Halloween, homework is not due back until MONDAY, November 4th. On Monday 11/4, please send BOTH completed weekly and monthly work in your child’s reading folder.
2) On Halloween on Thursday, students are asked to please arrive to school wearing their costumes. (NO WEAPONS OR MASKS ARE PERMITTED) We will have a class party with our room parents only but then we will be marching in the big school parade K-8th grade. Families are invited and encouraged to attend and you may sign out your child after the parade has concluded. Please note that there is NO aftercare on Halloween.
If you plan on signing out your child after the parade, you must send us a note/dojo/email no later than Thursday morning so we can plan accordingly. You will meet us by our Kindergarten playground to sign out your children.
3) Snack shop will be open tomorrow during lunch. Please send in $ labeled and in folders if you wish for your child to purchase a snack.
4) We are looking for a parent volunteer who may be able to assist Mrs. Nowel with extra lunch help in the gym & recess duty on Tuesdays. The time would be from 11:35-12:35, but even if you can only come for lunch from 11:35-12:05 that would be greatly appreciated as well. Please note the VIRTUS training program must be completed prior to volunteering. Please let us know if you are able to assist on Tuesdays.
5) This Friday we will be attending mass at 8:45 for First Friday & All Saints Day.
6) Winter uniforms will go into effect next week starting on Friday, November 1st. Please LABEL all sweaters/sweatshirts, jackets, etc.

8) Our Disguise a Turkey projects are coming home today with a detailed letter explaining what your child is asked to do.
