Happy Fall!
October 2023
Dear Families,
The first month of school is under our belt and the students are getting well into their routines. It is remarkable to see such growth in a short amount of time, especially with our littlest learners!
Students are enjoying being announcement helpers in the morning, participating in Bolivar Reads and the Read-a-Thon, attending SCC activities after school and taking on jobs in the cafeteria and in classrooms. It has been a great transition into the school year and we are all looking forward to fun fall festivities!
This month will bring a special visit from author Vivian Van Velde, Trunk or Treat and Halloween Festivities. Please be in touch with your child's teacher about other events taking place in the classroom!
Thank you for all of your support and partnership! As always, feel free to contact me with feedback.
Mrs. Kara May

Message From the Nurse's Office
The following district protocols are in place to keep all students and staff safe and healthy:
- Students must be fever free - without medicine - for 24 hours before returning to school.
- Students must be vomit and/or diarrhea free - for 24 hours before returning to school.
The best way to steer clear of these is to practice good hygiene. Remind your child to wash their hands frequently.
