Thank you for taking time out of your busy schedules this week to attend our Parent Teacher Conferences. It is always so refreshing to see parents take an active role in their child's overall education. As most of us can remember first hand, the middle school years can be difficult years to navigate. Keeping the communication lines open at all times between parents and teachers is one way you can initiate conversations with your child about events that take place at school and in turn help them navigate the various paths that lie ahead of them. Have a great weekend!

Attendance
As always, please be sure to call the main office at 573-214-3240 if your child will be absent from school for any reason. If the absence is due to a medical appointment, please also provide the office with a medical excuse from your child's physician. Your child can submit this excuse to the main office when they return to school.

Here is why we love Read Across America Week!
Reading is exciting
Reading takes us to exciting new places, enchanted lands, and even faraway galaxies. When we read, we can be detectives, explorers, and heroes. Ever stayed up late to finish a book by flashlight under your covers? Or missed your bus stop because you were so engrossed in a chapter? Reading adds excitement to our lives!
Reading makes us smarter
Did you know that reading actually increases your brain power? It’s true! Regular reading can slow the decline of memory and brain function that comes with age. And of course, as Dr. Seuss says, “The more that you read, the more things you will know. The more that you learn, the more places you'll go.”
Reading is relaxing
Even reading for just six minutes can reduce stress, according to research. In fact, reading is more calming than listening to music or going on a walk! Curling up with a good book and cup of tea (or another favorite beverage) is one of life’s great joys — and relaxers.
