Note from our Principal
Thank you to all the families who were able to come to Curriculum Night this past week. We had standing room only crowds at all grade levels. Each grade level presented pertinent information to the entire group, then the groups broke up and spent time with their individual child’s teacher to learn more about their expectations for the year. Please let me know if you have any feedback on the event, we are always looking for ways to improve our communication with families.
The month of October will be busy. Our annual PTA Fall Festival will be Friday night, 10/23 from 5:30 to 7:30 PM. Then Parent/Teacher Conferences will be held the following week. Teachers will be conferencing on Wednesday night, 10/28 from 4-8 PM; and Thursday, 10/29 from 8AM-8PM, with no school on the 29th or 30th. Due to the fact that there is no school on Thursday or Friday prior to Halloween, classrooms will not be holding individual Halloween parties this year. We hope that everyone will be able to attend and wear their costumes to the Fall Festival in lieu of the usual classroom parties.
Warmly,
Susan Heberlein
Principal
