November Update

Election Day is a State Holiday therefore, there is no school on Tuesday, November 8.

This month, our schoolwide theme is skills for learning: listening, focusing attention, using self-talk to stay on-task, and being assertive when asking for help with a learning task. In our morning announcements and school assembly, we’ll be reminding students of these skills, which help students be successful learners.

Second Step lessons teach skills for learning. You’ll be receiving Home Links describing why these skills are important and including fun activities to do with your child to practice them. We hope you enjoy them!

Please tell your child’s teacher if you’d like more suggestions about supporting skills for learning at home.

Parent Teacher Conferences will be held from 4:00 PM - 7:30 PM on Wednesday, November 16 and Thursday, November 17. Then again on Friday, November 18 from 12:45 PM -3:30. If you wish to sign up for a conference but missed the window to schedule an appointment, please reach out directly to your child's teacher.

Mrs. Hatfield, our school social worker, is starting the Erin's Law presentations this week. Erin's Law is a state-required education that students must receive yearly. Additional information was sent out in October with every student. If you have any questions regarding Erin's Law, don't hesitate to get in touch with the Army Trail Office.
