COLT FAMILY NEWS
November 19, 2023
Dear Families,
We will have early dismissals at 12:30PM on Monday and Tuesday. Parent teacher conferences will be held both days. There will be NO PM PreK either day. AM PreK will follow their regular schedule.
There will be FREE childcare available in the cafeteria from 3:30-7:30PM on Monday and from 12:30-1:30PM on Tuesday. Be sure to stop by the lost and found table located outside of the cafeteria. We have quite an assortment of lost items! All unclaimed items will be donated after Tuesday.
Have a wonderful Thanksgiving break!

COSTUME CLOSET
The Colts in Action PTO group is hoping to build "closet of costumes" so that when Halloween 2024 rolls around, every little ghoul and goblin will have lots of options to choose from! Items can be dropped off at the main office. All sizes of gently used and new costumes accepted.
PICTURE RETAKE DAY
Retake day will be on Tuesday, November 28th. Foals are welcome to have their pictures taken as well!
JACKETS & COLD WEATHER
Jackets MUST be worn by all students on the bus during winter months. In the event of an accident, jackets are vital for student safety. Hoodies do not suffice.
