Tisch's Tidbits
Book Exchange
Your child should have come home with a letter and tags for our upcoming book exchange. You are always welcome to purchase books through Scholastic with my code if that makes it easier for you. The books correlate with our Spotlight Night requirements which include a book that looks funny, a book written over 100 years ago, or a book that takes you somewhere you have never been. Book orders will be coming home withing the next few days so feel free to take a look. Please don't feel this is a financial burden as I know it is an expensive time of year. 7ish dollars is just fine. Your child will then come home with a new book to read over winter break!
Books are Gifts
If you would like to purchase books for your child via the Scholastic book order, just let m know. When the books arrive, I will be sure to contact you and place them at the main office for you to pick up. Shhh.. I'll keep it a surprise. :)
PJ Drive
The kindergartners are collecting warm pajamas for The Villages, Indiana's largest not-for-profit child and family services agency. If you'd like to donate, please send in a new pair of jammies for any age by December 7. Guidelines include: they must be brand new, they must be a complete set or nightgown, and flame-retardant.
Retake Policy
Retakes are done at no charge if an initial purchase was made or if your photo is technically flawed (eyes closed, out of focus, etc.). We require the entire original picture packet and envelope to be returned on Make-up day even if you did not purchase a package. If a package was not purchased, there will be a $5 retake fee.
We will not do a retake if the original photo packet and envelope is not returned.
Parents wanting to place an initial order of the make-up or retake image can do so online using the following link. Printable order form is also attached.

Absence
I will be at a conference December 9-19 and a guest teacher will be teaching the kiddos those days. Please let the main office know if there are any changes in transportation.
