The Project Lit Book Club for 4th & 5th graders, their families, and staff continues this Wednesday, October 30th. We partner with Highcroft and Sorrento Springs to do this. We will meet at the Bread Co. in Town and Country at 141 and Clayton (14123 Clayton Road) at 7 pm to discuss the graphic novel The Probability of Everything, which is on Hoopla as an ebook and audiobook. For more information, here is a link to the upcoming schedule. We hope to see you there!

Nationwide, cyberbullying and teen self harm/suicide are on the rise. The increased access that today's youth have to technology and social media opens the door to this behavior as both the victim and the cause. As parents, it is admittedly difficult to navigate this topic with your child(ren). To help you learn more about this topic and receive tips that can support you at home, the Parkway School District has established a parent event to address this topic. Tina Meier, of the Megan Meier Foundation, will be conducting a presentation at West Middle School on October 29th at 6:30pm. Mrs. Meier will share the story of her daughter, Megan, along with the devastating effects of bullying, cyberbullying, and suicide. This powerful message will be followed by an audience Q&A that will allow the participants to seek advice and ask questions that could prove to be a powerful experience for all in attendance. For more information, please check out the attached flyer and, if interested in attending, please click here to kindly RSVP.

Students will participate in the “Parkway Votes” mock election during the week of October 28th. You received an email with more information from the district on October 15.

Parkway Votes is an opportunity for students to learn about the democratic process, understand the importance of lifelong voting habits, and increase communication with their families about the value of civic engagement. Families are encouraged to talk with their children about their values around voting.

At our school, students will have the opportunity to practice voting.

• Kindergarten - Grade 2: Which of these is your favorite national monument? Students will vote for the Statue of Liberty, Gateway Arch, Washington Monument, or the Grand Canyon.

• Grade 3 - Grade 5 will vote for the President of the United States.

Schoolwide election results will be made public in a summary format. School-specific results will only be shared within classrooms under teacher direction to ensure an educational focus. Individual votes will remain anonymous.

It is time to begin planning for Student-led conferences. Conferences will be held the week of November 11th. Since conferences are student-led please make sure your child can attend as well. We would like every family to participate in conferences as it is key that we partner together to see the most success. Please follow this link for information about Student-led Conferences.

Be ready for the upcoming Book Fair!
