This and That

Now that conferences are over, we are flying ahead into new ideas and curriculum. Please help your student with any issues that were discussed at conferences. Although, we review things occasionally, we need to move forward in order to cover all that we must this year. This coming week, there will be picture retakes on Thursday, Nov. 17th. Students who missed the first session, those who are new, and any who would like their pictures redone should be prepared on that day. New order forms were sent home today (Friday). If you are having your child's picture redone, the previous picture package must be returned.  Also, PM parents, please make sure you do not drop your student off too early. It was reported to the office today that there were two  PM Kindergarten students out on the playground 15 - 20 min. before school started. There is no supervision out there on early days at that time. Luckily, it was not a terribly cold day.
And lastly, THANK YOU to all you parents that have been returning "reading tickets". I know it takes extra time to fill them out, but it really does count. The students are so excited to turn them in. On Monday, a drawing was held and one of our 1st grade students won a new bike! Each week, we are also having a contest between AM and PM to see who turns in the most tickets (reading days).
