Hi Parents!
Important Information
Holiday Fun:
Today your child will be going home with a blue letter today about our upcoming Holiday Party in December. This letter explains the materials we will need for the Holiday Party as well as when the items are due.
Turkey Dressing:
This is such a fun holiday family project! As a family, you will disguise Tom Turkey so that he won't be eaten for Thanksgiving! You may choose to dress the turkey as a doctor, an astronaut, a farmer, a ballerina, a superhero, etc. Be creative and use any materials you have at home. The turkey is homework and due tomorrow, Friday, November 4th! We look forward to seeing your disguised turkeys!
Book Fair:
We are thankful for books and literature! The book fair is coming November 7th-11th to our school and will be held in the Skaggs Library! This is an exciting time for students as they shop the wide selection of books! To help make the book fair successful, please join our volunteering team and sign up here: http://www.signupgenius.com/go/30e0d4dafa923a0fb6-skaggs

Our amazing Skaggs counselor is hosting a parenting class on helping children develop social skills. It will be held on November 14th from 8:30-9:30am in the Skaggs library. This is a great opportunity to learn about knowing what to expect developmentally, how you can help your child develop appropriate skills to resolve conflicts, strategies that will assist your child with problem areas, and ways to support healthy friendships.
