October 9th is a Staff Day - No School for Students
Progress Reports Issued October 10th
Papa Johns Teacher Delivery Night is October 10th!
A few things we learned last year... All orders must be placed prior to October 10th. Please make sure you live in Christopher Farms Elementary school zone OR that the Papa Johns at Independence (by Party City and Target) will deliver to your house. If not, you can always place an order for carryout!
While you won't be able to select the staff member who delivers your pizza, you will be sure to be greeted by someone who is having a great time. Don't be alarmed if we show up in costume! Papa Johns awards prizes to our staff for best dressed, best decorated car, and most tips!
Tips?! Just a reminder that 100% of the tips goes back to the school! Tips can be placed with the order or given directly to the person who delivers your pizza. We look forward to seeing you on Tuesday, October 10th!

PTA Fall Festival - October 20th
Technology, Chromebooks, Clever, Oh My!
Students in grades 1-4 will keep their Chromebooks at school all year long. Students in grade 5 will keep their Chromebooks at school in the beginning. Once we feel students in grade 5 are ready to transition the technology back and forth from home to school, we will communicate that with parents in advance before sending them home.
Our school division has done a remarkable job over the last two years in providing a central hub to host many of our resources the students use every day. This central space is called Clever Portal. If your child has a log in (some teachers are still working on getting students logged in at the primary grades), and you would like to see what Clever Portal looks like, Mr. Doss, our ITS, made the below video tutorial to assist.
If you are having difficulty getting access to resources at home, please let us know, and we will do our best to get you the assistance you need.
