Emma L. Miller Friday Family Focus
Be Kind, Be Awesome, Be Well!
News, Updates & Reminders: 11/18
Good Morning E.L.M. Families,
Happy Friday! We will have Pajama Day today! Students are welcome to wear their jammies as long as they are warm and appropriate for school. We will be going outside for recess and PE.
Also, in case you missed it...school will be closed for the full week next week. An email outlining the reasons for this closure was sent to everyone last Tuesday morning.
On behalf of the entire faculty & staff of Emma Miller, we wish you all a safe and restful Thanksgiving holiday. Please know that all of us here are very thankful to you for sharing your children with us. Happy Thanksgiving!

* The Friday Family Focus will return on Friday, Dec. 2nd, so I am including two weeks in one!
* Due to the school closure next week, the school year calendar has been amended. Please see the attached calendar with the latest updates. Our last day of school is now tentatively scheduled for Thursday, June 15th, pending any additional snow days.
* The cold and snowy weather is upon us and the kiddos will need to be dressed properly to go outside. We highly recommend sending in an extra set of winter gear (boots, snow pants, hats, & gloves) to keep here at school. If this is not feasible for your family, please be sure to send in their winter gear each morning, as we do go outside everyday for recess and PE. We also welcome any donations of gently used winter gear, if your child has grown out of them. We like to have a few extras in case someone forgets their gear. Thank you.
* Our Aftercare policies allow for new registrations and/or changes at the beginning of each new trimester. If you are interested in registering or changing your enrollment, please contact Ms. Kayla for a new registration packet. Her email is kbradbury@savoyelementary.com. Registrations are due by Friday, December 2nd.
* Please note that you have to register by 12/2 for the Friday half days, if you are planning to utilize the Aftercare program during those days only. We have half days every Friday in January and February.
* Jon Friedman, a school counselor for NBSU will provide an information night in the near future and would like some feedback from parents on topics that might be of interest. Please take a moment to fill out this brief survey https://forms.gle/TkmqF7ATKBiCrbr97 . Thank you.
* Aftercare payments are due today for attendance during the week of 11/28 - 12/2.
Planning Ahead:
* The first trimester ends on Thursday, December 1st. Report cards will be sent home on Tuesday, Dec. 6th. Parent/Teacher conferences will take place on Thursday, Dec. 8th.
Health & Safety Updates:
* Sadly, the nurse candidate that accepted the position last week has decided not to make the move to Emma Miller. The good news is that we had another candidate that has accepted and will hopefully begin with us following the holidays in January. I will keep you updated once we get closer to the starting date and it's certain that she will be joining us. In the meantime, Nurse Barb will be filling in through December. Barb will however, be out on the 28th, so we will not have a nurse on that day. Nurse Barb's email is bgriffin@nbsunion.com, if you need to reach her for any reason.
Have a wonderful holiday vacation!
Sincerely,
Mrs. Tierney
