Conferences:The conferences are on October 17th and 18th. The times for conferences are 3:00-7:00 PM with an EARLY DISMISSAL at 2:06 so that the teachers can organize their classrooms for them. We look forward to seeing you to discuss your child’s growth!

Walking Club and Recess: Walking Club and recess will be held outside daily as long as it is above 20 degrees. I have been noticing that many students are coming in short sleeve shirts. The temperature in the morning has been in the mid 30s so it might be a good reminder to tell the kiddos to wear a coat. The weather will only be getting colder and we will be outside if it is dry.

Lost and Found:Please take a peek at our lost and found table when you join us for conferences. The table will be placed by the front entrance.
