Picture Retake Day - November 2
If you ordered pictures and you are having your child take pictures on retake day, please make sure to send back your unwanted photo packet back to school with your child on picture day, November 2. The photographer will take the packet and your new photos taken on retake day will be sent to school after they are processed.
All new students and students who were absent on September 7 will have their picture taken for the yearbook. Only fall pictures will be in our yearbook, so this is the last chance for your child's picture to be taken for the yearbook.
If you have questions, please email Tracy Itao at itaot@platteco.k12.mo.us.
Scholastic Book Fair Coming Soon!
Preview days will be October 31, November 1-3rd and November 7th 2022. On these days during class times, students will be able to preview the books and create a wish list. Students will be able to purchase books during the day on November 8th, 10th and 11th 2022.
Parents will also have the opportunity to attend the book fair during conference times. The book fair will be open on November 2nd from 4:30 p.m.-8:00 p.m. and on November 3rd from 4:30 p.m.-7:30 p.m.
Book Fair Volunteers Needed
The Bookfair is quickly approaching and we need your help! We are needing volunteers to assist the students, faculty, friends and families in finding that perfect book, eraser, poster, etc. Many students will have had a chance to scope out the book fair early and will most likely have a good idea of what they are looking for and wanting. You will also ring up the merchandise and bag the items for those that are making purchases.
If you are available for any of the listed dates/times and would like to be apart of this volunteer opportunity, please click the link below and select the dates/times that work for you! Thank you for all you do!
