PTO Meeting - November 20
Weather Changes
Please remember to send your students with clothes for the cooler temps. We had some warmer weather this week, but it will be much cooler this week. Please make sure they are coming with layers, hats, gloves, and coats!
Transportation Changes
If you need to make a transportation change for your student, it must be communicated to the office before 1 p.m. The end of the day is very hectic at an elementary school and messages are not always able to get to teachers after 1 pm.
Thank you for being so understanding in this situation!
Coins for a Cause
November is Homeless Awareness Month and here at Luce Road, we want to help bring awareness of homelessness and housing insecurity in our communities. That’s why we’re partnering with United Way to raise money for Gratiot County Hope House through a coin war challenge called “Coins for a Cause”!
United Way is committed to matching all funds raised (up to $10,000) so now’s your chance to double your donation! Students can bring in their spare change during November. The classroom that raises the most money will win a pizza party from United Way!
Speech Universal Screening
Our speech pathologists are implementing a new process by offering speech screening for all students. Your child brought home a consent form on Friday in their orange folder. If you would like your child to have a speech screening completed, please sign the consent form and send back to your child's teacher.
APS App/Rooms
Please make sure you are using and checking the APS app, Rooms. This is the way your teacher will communicate with you throughout the year about all the great things going on in your classroom.
Also, make sure to turn on notification!
Child Care
If you or someone you know is in need of child care for your 2.5-4 year old, we still have spots available. Click the picture to begin enrollment or call the office to schedule a tour; 989-463-1-012

School/District/PTO updates
Building Expectations
As part of our building expectations, students earn Panther Paws throughout the day when they are following their ROARS and Volume Level Expectations. Each week we focus on a different area of the building. This week we will be reviewing Bus Expectations.
Mrs. Hancock will also introduce the Sadness Spot from the Little Spots of Emotion book series.
At the end of the week, Mrs. Hancock and Sunny complete a Panther Paw drawing. A student from each classroom is drawn as the Panther Paw student of the week and they are able to choose a prize from Mrs. Hancock's prize box.
