Fall Festival
The Fall Festival will be held October 24th from 5:30-7:30. This is such a fun time for us and for our students. We need lots of games and activities for our festival. We have a list of games that you can chose from or you can come up with your own activity/game. Use your creativity! There will be a sign up sheet located in the conference room toward the end of the week. Please let us know what you plan to do at the festival so that we can ensure we have enough for our students to participate in on this night. I can't wait to see everyone's costumes!

Volunteers
As you begin to plan field trips, I wanted to clarify the volunteer process. All parents going on field trips need to scan their license through the office. This gives a record of parents going on trips. The only time we would need for a parent to complete volunteer paperwork is if the parent is in charge of students other than their own and if they are volunteering in our building during the day. If you have questions, please let me know.
Purple Keys
We are so proud of our students who are receiving purple keys. Please make sure students understand that they need to be very responsible with their keys. We cannot replace lost keys. Some keys have also been found on the playground. Remind them that they need to keep up with their keys at all times.
