The Compass Notes for Families

We hope everyone had a fantastic week of learning!

Please don't forget that December 20th is a 3-hour early release for students. We dismiss at 12:30 that day. We also have Winter Parties on December 19th. Those are sponsored by our amazing PTA. HUGE thank you to our PTA! Our next PTA meeting is December 12th at 6:30 in our cafeteria. Please join us! We would love to hear your voice about how Compass can best support our teachers, staff and students. December 13th we have our Leader in Me assembly and students are invited to wear their "Seas the Leader" shirts (blue shirts). We will be taking a school photo this day.

Thank you so much for your support and partnership in your child's education!

We hope everyone has a wonderful holiday season!

-Mr. White & Mrs. Page

We believe that birthdays are an important time in a child’s life, and Compass students will receive a Birthday Book in celebration of their special day. However, for several reasons including increased food allergies, preservation of the instructional day, and student equality, students are not allowed to bring treats from home or a store or have flowers/balloons or other items delivered to the classroom for birthdays, going-away parties, or other personal events. If a student receives a delivery at school, the student will be notified to come to the office to view the item. Parents will be responsible for transporting the item home. Birthday party invitations may only be distributed if invitations are given to every student in the class.

Check out FCCLA's Merry and Active Kits! There are 4 kit options. The first option is a family pack of holiday activities. The second option is for 14 Elf Activities. The third option is for 25 Elf Activities. The fourth option is for activities over winter break.
