If you have a morning conference or cannot stay after your conference, feel free to come by with your student(s) any time during the week of conferences from 1:30 - 4. We will also schedule one evening opportunity to paint the tiles. As a reminder, it is one tile per family.

In order to make this event happen, we will need adult volunteers. Please fill out the PTA tile volunteer event form, if you have any availability during the week of October 3 from 12:30 - 5 PM. The volunteer form can be found here: https://forms.gle/PKoerTffwojnj6Jv9

The Literary Book Club is a program that helps replenish books in the school library. This program allows the child’s name to be permanently placed on the inside cover of the donation book, or they can be “dedicated” in honor of a teacher, staff member, friend, etc. If you are interested in joining the Literary Book Club, please fill out and return the form below. This form has also been sent home with your child from school.

This week’s games of the week are Footgolf and Basketball Battleship, and the focus is initiative. Initiative is the awareness, energy, and drive needed to get something started. Having initiative demonstrates your ability to assess a situation, see what action is needed, and then get to work! Initiative is what links having a thought to acting on that thought. Sometimes the first step is the most difficult, but taking initiative helps propel life forward in purposeful directions.

All students need to be sure they let their teacher know the day before they are buying lunch. We may not have enough lunches if they do not request one. Also, please remind your child that they should not be getting lunch if they are bringing one.
