Halloween Fun!
I would like to thank our generous PTA and parent volunteers who helped make our Halloween parades and parties a success! The students had a wonderful time playing games, making crafts and eating delicious snacks. Check out the photos below to see the awesome costumes worn by students and staff.
On Thursday, we hosted our fifth annual pumpkin decorating contest, and we ended up with over 130 creative submissions! All students had the opportunity to vote for their favorites, and we had one winner in each grade level. The big winners are:
First grade: Lenny E. in Mrs. Grasso/Mrs. Blanchard's class (Baby Shark)
Kindergarten: Eliee K. in Mrs. O'Brien's class (Gumball machine)
Pre-K: Dominik D. in Mrs. Crissie's class (Minion)
Congratulations to our winners!
Parent-Teacher Conferences
Please note that parents of kindergarten and first grade students with two teachers (an ELA teacher and a Math teacher) will only need to sign up for a conference with the ELA teacher. Math teachers will join in these conferences at the selected date and time. Parents of students in the Pre-K program are required to attend conferences as part of the Preschool for All program, and will receive specific information from the Pre-K teacher regarding the date and time of your conference.
If your child sees a specialist (Speech & Language Pathologist, Social Worker, Reading Specialist, etc.) you will also have the opportunity to sign up for a conference time to meet with these staff members. If you have any questions about parent-teacher conferences, please contact your child's teacher or the Sorrick office at 708-233-8200.
