November Newsletter
West Buncombe Elementary
Thank you!
- Mark your calendars for this year's "Holiday Meal" on November 16th. This year families can attend with their children on November 16th. Please RSVP using this link so we can have an accurate estimate of how many non-students will be attending. Adult lunches are priced at $4.75 we take cash and check but NO cards. This will make the line move faster and more efficiently, while also making it a little easier. *Teachers will share specific lunch times with you as we get closer to the date.
- October 31st is Halloween, students will not be permitted to wear Halloween costumes to school. This is also a 2-hour early dismissal, so make sure your child knows how they are getting home that day.
- Please be sure to meet with your child's teacher for a conference if you have not already.
- As the weather is changing, please remember to send warm layers for your child for recess. Playing outside is an important part of our students' day. We also have a lot of "Lost-and-Found" jackets near the theater. If you'd like to check for your child's jacket, please sign in at the front office.
- Are you missing a jacket or water bottle? Of course, you are! We have dozens and dozens of jackets, sweatshirt, and water bottles here at school that have been unclaimed. Please remind your child to take a look for their missing item in our lost and found. Any unclaimed garments will be donated on November 10th.

What is ReadyRosie?
ReadyRosie is an online resource that emails daily activities to adults to do with their children ages 0-5. Each activity is modeled with a two-minute video. The activities are simple, take about two minutes, and help prepare children for success in school. This early education tool helps families, schools, and communities across the nation deepen and scale their family engagement efforts. These tools leverage the power of video modeling, family workshops, professional development opportunities, and mobile technology to build powerful partnerships between families and educators, resulting in Ready Families, Ready Educators, Ready Children.
How Does ReadyRosie Work?
Simply watch a video, do the activity modeled in the video with your child, and everyone learns something new! The activities can be done at home, in the car, at the grocery store, restaurants, or wherever real life happens. The videos come right to your mobile device, tablet, or computer.
