October 2018 Newsletter
College Hills Elementary & PTO
Dear College Hills Parents & Guardians,
This time of year, with fall weather starting and a good nine weeks into school our students are working hard to build new skills. We enjoy seeing all the success around campus and hearing about our students' activities in the community as well. We are currently holding parent/teacher conference where I am sure you can see the progress your children are making as well. This year so far, we have enjoyed Grandparents Day, Adventure Dash and the Book Fair. And what a great Book Fair we just finished up! Thank you to our PTO for setting up, decorating, manning and tearing down the book fair for our CHE students. It is great to see all the students buying books they enjoy.
We have many activities coming up this month and they are listed below. Please make sure to save the dates on your calendar. We look forward to seeing our school families at each activity!
This year we had several changes to our drop off and pick up procedures. I want to thank all the families for making the adjustment smoothly. Currently we are in the process of another small adjustment. We are adding a lock to the door in the front office that goes out to the campus. Once it is in place, campus staff will push a button for the door to unlock and open before you can go through it. I am sure the transition will be easy and smooth
Thank you for sharing your children with us! They bring joy to our campus daily!
Have a Tigerific Day!

With remind & Facebook, parents can receive helpful reminders and interesting news where it is most convenient.
We share even more info for parents through Facebook for the school here and for the PTO here. It is encouraged that parents toggle on "Get Notifications" on the top of our pages. Otherwise, many posts will not be included in your news feed without being boosted with an ad buy. We'd rather spend our money on the kids:)
