Of course, fall isn't complete without a trip to a pumpkin patch! We will be going on October, 30th and 31st. Don't forget to send in your permission slips telling us what type of lunch-school or from home, if parents are coming, and $7.00 for the admission. Our students are really trying to make good choices so they can come with us on the trip! Keep reminding them daily to make good choices, be good friends, and to be good listeners!!
We are really talking with our students about good hygiene, because we do not want them to be sick. Washing hands, coughing into shirts/elbows, blowing their noses and throwing away the tissue, and to NOT eat anything from their nose. Please join us in reminding them about how important good health is to everyone. Also, we are getting more students who are receiving 5 day and 7 day attendance letters. Remember, 10 undocumented absences=a costly ticket. However, the greatest cost is that your child gets behind when they are not at school. Please make sure your child is on time, rested, and ready to learn.
Hand/foot/mouth disease is going around. If your child displays any symptoms, please check with a doctor to see if this is the problem. It is very contagious...remember with a doctor's note an absence is documented. Bring all doctor's notes to us. Thanks!
If you arrive late, you must escort your child into the building. They are too little to open those heavy doors and they need an adult to be certain they are inside and that we know they are present. For their safety, please follow this procedure.
T-shirts have been ordered. We will let you know when they arrive.
November 1st is picture retake day!
Parent/Teacher Conferences will be Tuesday, October 15th from 3:30-9:30. This should give everyone time to visit with your child's teacher. If this time will not work, contact the teacher and they will set up a time that will work. We believe in 100% participation. Children do best when teachers and families work together. This is a great time for you to show your child that you value their teacher and that you want to hear what they are learning about your child. Sharing information and showing a unified front to children makes a difference!! If you can't come to us-we will find a way to come to you! We look forward to seeing everyone on Tuesday or another scheduled time!
Flu shots are Monday, October 14th.
No BTB on Tuesday, October 15th
Don't forget to treat your child's teacher with a gift from their Amazon's Wishlist. Time is running out!!! Thank you to everyone that has already generously given! Our classrooms are enjoying your gifts!!
