PRINCIPAL'S MESSAGE
First things first, please remember that tomorrow, Monday October 19th is a day off! If this is catching you by surprise, please check out the hybrid calendar linked below in the hybrid resources section if you haven't already to get those calendars marked. We hope you and your sharks enjoy a day off. Our office will be closed as well.
Thank you to all the parents who attended the PTC meeting last Wednesday night, and to the PTC for all the upcoming fun you are planning for our sharks!
Thank you to everyone who has already purchased books through our Book Fair! Our book fair profits go right back into new books for our library shelves, for our sharks to enjoy!
Please check out the information regarding participating in our School Site Council this year. School Site Council members give input on our School Plan for Student Achievement and our School Safety Plan.
If your shark would like to participate in the pumpkin-decorating contest, I will be posting details and the photo submission form to their Google classrooms this week!
Warmly,
Amy Westberg

The first meeting will be held virtually in December, and the second meeting in February 2021. Each meeting is about 1.5-2 hours.
