November Newsletter
It is hard to believe the end of the first quarter is upon us!
As a reminder, Parent/Teacher conferences are scheduled for Tuesday, November 26 and Wednesday, December 4. Students will be dismissed at 11:50AM on both days. Please feel free to reach out to your child’s teacher to confirm and/or schedule an appointment if you have not done so already.
With the inclement weather soon approaching, children need to be dressed appropriately for the colder weather. Coats, hats, gloves, scarves and boots are essential for recess. Children will go outside for their 20 minutes of recess as long as it is not raining and temperatures are not “frigid”. Please be sure your child is prepared for the elements. You may also want to consider labeling the inside of his/her clothing as many student items look similar. Encourage your children to visit the “Lost & Found” bin; there are SEVERAL items that belong to current CU students as these items have been “found” this school year.
Thank you for your patience as we completed the annual “early dismissal drill” a few weeks ago. All families should have an emergency plan in place in the event parents are not home when the school bus arrives to drop children off. Children should know parent phone numbers, who to call, and which neighbor’s house to go to in case of an emergency, if appropriate. Please take a moment to share this plan with your child. As always, safety is our top priority.
