PE NEWS
During the last week of October, PreK students had a blast doing some festive stations practicing overhand throw, underhand toss and rolling. Pumpkins on the Fence is an all-time favorite for the rest of the students!
The month of November is our Nutrition unit learning "Go, Slow and Whoa" foods, food groups, the skeletal system and what our bodies need to stay strong and healthy!
The PE CARES Food Drive is underway and will continue until November 16. Keep sending in those non-perishable foods and essential supplies for those in need!

Parent Teacher Conferences
As October ends and we head into November, we look forward to meeting with our parents/guardians for conferences! Parent teacher conferences will take place on Monday, November 14 and Wednesday November 16 from 4:00pm-8:00pm. We will be offering in-person and virtual conferences through School Bookings. Sign up here to schedule a conference with your child's teacher. If you need to reschedule or modify your conference after you have submitted your response, please contact the teacher directly.
We look forward to continuing our partnership with families through conferences. As always if you have any specific questions or concerns please reach out to the teacher or Alward office directly.
Conferences with Specialists only need to be scheduled if there is a concern or something specific you'd like to discuss with that teacher.
