November 21 is the day of the School District wide 3-way conferences where, students, teacher and parent meet to discuss the latest interim report that was sent home and co-create a goal for improvement.

A newsletter is coming home this week for parents to sign up for a time to meet. The conferences will be 20 minutes in length. Students will be dismissed at 11:26 that day and buses will be delivering children home approximately 2 hours and 30 minutes earlier that day.

November 19-22 is our first Scholastic Book Fair held at the school library.  We have parent and student volunteers who will be on hand to show you a variety of books and other items that are for sale. Our goal is to sell $1500 worth of books and our school will then receive cash and books to put toward our school library and classroom collections.  The sale will be open at various times and a schedule will be shared when we have all of our volunteers in place.

A flyer came home last week with some information and a few book ideas. Great idea for Christmas!

October 24, teachers will be sending home an Interim Report with your child. This report gives you some assessment information on your child in reading, writing and numeracy.

Please keep communication open with your child’s teacher and contact them with any questions or concerns.
