Week of Monday, November 2nd - Friday, November 6th, 2026
Good morning Faculty and Staff,
It is hard to believe we are entering November—turkey month and the beginning of the holiday season!
Thank you to Ms. Johnson and her team for hosting our first annual Fall Festival as a combined school. Our scholars, from K4 through eighth grade, had a wonderful time, and the event took place without any major incidents. Thank you to everyone who chipped in. Your contributions made this a memorable experience, and our parents had only good things to say. Team, thank you!
Our Red Ribbon celebration was also a success! We enjoyed dressing up alongside our scholars as we pledged to stay drug free. Special thanks to Ms. Riddick, Ms. Johnson, and their team for making this year’s Red Ribbon Week our best yet!
Our character trait for November is Accountability. Please use circle time and homeroom to discuss what accountability looks like and how scholars can demonstrate it daily. Reinforce practical examples, such as completing assignments, following through on commitments, owning mistakes, and taking steps to make things right.
This month, we look forward to our Thanksgiving and Awards Program. Teachers, you will receive your awards forms from Mr. Graham today. Please complete and return them promptly so we can order the awards and be prepared for the celebration.
Tomorrow is Election Day, and there will be no school. If you have not already voted, please take time to exercise your right to vote.
Thank you for all you do each day. Let’s carry this spirit of teamwork and care into November!
Yours in education,
Dr. Shawn Johnson
