October 18: Picture Day for all students. Flyers going home next week.

October 18 School Board Meeting:

• 7:00 pm: Pierce is being honored by Solution Tree State Representatives to celebrate our Model PLC status! Come join us! :) Or watch online at home. We are getting another cool banner, too!

Everyone needs to park across the street on October 15 for the day.

Please be flexible as the number of trucks can change as the day progresses. This schedule is a good starting point.

Please see Marcela if you have any questions.

By using Brain Smart Starts, we help children experience internal safety and connection, which are key ingredients for a successful day of learning.

Library News: It's the 2nd 6 weeks, and students have done really well with checkout procedures. Thank you to teachers and I.A.s for both being present during this time to assist students. Please start directing students to other areas of the library to locate books. If you want, you can try a different shelf each visit and then let them choose where to find a book. Some students will need more guidance than others, but we want to expand the books that they can choose from.

New families: Let me know if you have a new student and would like to encourage the parent to checkout books. Ms. Luna and I will put a QR code for the form to apply for a parent library card in your box.

Our week of giving has been great! We are halfway to our goal! Let’s go Pandas!

Shout out to Stephanie Reeder! She was the highest donor for week 1. Mrs. Reeder was a recipient of a scholarship from Irving Scholarship Foundation when she was in high school. How awesome was that!

Shout out to POD E for being the first POD to all donate.
