Weekly Principal Newsletter ~ Week of November 8th
A message from Mrs. Lucas
Dear Parents,
November is here and it will be a fast month at school. By now your child's teacher has likely reached out to set up a fall conference time. Conferences are in person and parents will receive their child's report card and discuss their current progress. Please remember that if a student is present at the conference or you are unvaccinated, masks must be worn.
Student Council is holding our annual Thanksgiving Food Drive. Please see this flyer for more information. A hard copy of this flyer will be coming home next week with students. We always appreciate this opportunity for our students to demonstrate leadership and compassion by participating in this food drive.
Go Bears!
