Dear Totem Falls Families,

I hope you are able to make it to our Movie Night tomorrow evening at … At today’s assembly our all school read aloud was shared which will be coming home today. The book is Rump, a revision of the fairy tale Rumpelstiltskin. We are excited to be reading this book as a community and hope your family enjoys it. The purpose is largely for it to be read aloud as a family. Continuing to read to our kids, regardless of how old they are, continues to be a significant determinant of future reading success.

I also wanted to share an observation and ask for your assistance with a safety issue. The bus drivers have shared a concern about people crossing into the parking lot between the buses. There is limited visibility and traffic is moving in the parking lot at that time. There is a crosswalk between the building and the last bus that is designed to support safe crossing with good visibility to the parking lot. If you pick up your child after school please use the crosswalk when returning to your car. Thanks in advance for helping with this safety issue.

Sincerely,

Craig
