Page Middle Families,

We hope everyone had a wonderful Fall Break. The first quarter has ended and report cards come out at the end of the week. Teachers have been scheduling parent conferences, please reach out to your child's teachers if you desire a conference.

Picture Day is tomorrow so please send your child dressed the way you would like to see them in the Yearbook at the end of the year.

Winter Sports Picture Day

YOU WILL RECEIVE INFORMATION ON HOW TO ORDER PHOTOS AFTER PICTURE DAY.

Please DO NOT send money with your student on that day.

We are excited to announce a special in-house field trip for our social studies students on Monday, November 2nd. We will be hosting Mr. Nicky, a history teacher from the Chicago area, who will be joining us for the day.

Mr. Nicky has developed an innovative approach to teaching history by transforming modern songs students love into engaging educational content aligned with social studies standards. During his visit, he will perform a few of his original songs and walk students through his creative process for turning historical concepts into memorable music.

To help cover the costs of this field trip, we are asking for a $5 contribution per student. A separate email with payment details will be sent out shortly so you can submit your contribution.

The Page Middle Players are thrilled to present their fall musical Schoolhouse Rock Live! JR.

Based on the 1970s Emmy Award-winning Saturday morning educational cartoon series and pop culture phenomenon, this fast-paced musical teaches lessons with clever, catchy tunes. We follow Tom, a young schoolteacher, who is nervous about his first day of teaching. He tries to relax by watching TV, when various characters representing facets of his personality emerge from the set and show him how to win his students over with imagination and music. Memorable songs as "Just a Bill," "Interplanet Janet," and "Conjunction Junction" bring his lesson plans vividly to life.

Tickets are on sale at: https://our.show/schoolhouserocklive

Show Times:

• Nov. 5 at 7:00pm

• Nov. 6 at 7:00pm

ATTENDANCE: Parents or legal guardians may submit notes for students to be excused for the first five (5) absences per semester, for any reason. To be excused, notes must be provided by the parent or legal guardian and received by the school within five (5) school days of the absence. After five (5) days of total absences per semester, official documentation, such as a medical note, should be submitted in order for the absence to be excused. Please submit absence notes to the front office or to the Attendance Secretary, Connie Lamb, at constance.lamb@wcs.edu. Attendance may be monitored in Skyward from the Parent Access Account.

EXTENDEND ABSENCES: If your child is going to be absent for several days, for sickness, sports, travel, etc., PLEASE CONTACT THE ATTENDANCE OFFICE PRIOR TO THE STUDENT BEING GONE.
