Masters Elementary

A big thank you to everyone who attended Parent Teacher Conferences last week and to everyone who attended the Book Fair. It was a huge success!

If you were not able to attend your child's conference, please contact the classroom teacher to reschedule a conference time.

Congratulations to Mrs. Quandt, kindergarten teacher, and Miss Wills, school counselor, for being nominated and selected as Masters' Moments That Matter Staff Members of the Week for the past two weeks. Way to go!

Students, staff and families are encouraged to nominate staff members to acknowledge their excellent work. To nominate a Masters staff member, please click the nomination link. Each week, one staff member will be selected and celebrated as our Moments That Matter winner! The weekly recipient will also receive a special prize or gift card, generously provided by our wonderful community partners.

The annual Halloween Parade will be held on Friday, October 30th at 2:45 p.m. Mrs. Quandt’s kindergarten class will lead the parade by grade level. The parade will start at the front doors and then travel north down the sidewalk to Ellison Street and then turn back south on 97th Street to return and circle the school blacktop for an all student viewing. In the event of inclement weather, students will parade through the hallways and end in the gym where parents and friends may view the parade.

Room parents are asked to wait until 2:15 p.m. to begin setting up for classroom parties, as instruction will continue until this time. Classroom parties will begin after the 2:45 p.m. all-school parade. Costumes should be brought to school, not worn, and should be friendly in nature. Please also refrain from sending your child(ren) to school wearing face paint. Weapons, costumes with blood, scary clown costumes, etc. should be left at home. Alternate activities with specialists will be provided for students not participating.

School pictures are going home with students today. Picture retakes will be Wednesday, November 11th. This is an opportunity for students who were absent, students whose pictures did not turn out, or students who are new to Masters to have their pictures taken. Please contact Mrs. Gardner, school secretary, at (531) 299-1800 if you have any questions.

We are excited to invite parents and guardians to join Ms. Wills for our Snacks with the Counselor series! These monthly gatherings are a chance to connect, share ideas, and learn together in a relaxed, supportive setting. Each gathering will last 30-45 minutes and focus on a specific topic to help support your child’s growth and success, with open discussion about the counseling program’s future at Masters. They will be held at the school in Ms. Wills’ classroom, room 17, starting at 4:15 PM on Wednesdays.
