And just like that we're to Halloween and Day Light Saving's time--boy that happened fast! A few reminders to end the week:
~ Conferences are just around the corner!! These will be held on November 16, 17 & 19. Please use this link to sign-up for conferences. ALSO, the PTO generously feeds supper to all of our teachers on the three very long days. The PTO needs YOUR HELP with a few donated items--beverages and desserts mostly, but this year we are also asking for 3 different soup donations for Monday, November 16. Perhaps you have a favorite recipe or a family favorite that you would be willing to share with the Washington staff??? You could bring the soup in a crock pot in the morning that Monday, and we'll make sure it's ready to go by 2:45. If you are interested, willing, and able to help with beverage, dessert, or soup donations, please sign up using this link.
~ Book Fair: We will again be holding a Scholastic Book Fair during conferences. The PTO needs volunteers--this is typically a super fun, super easy volunteer opportunity. Sign up here.
~ Early Release Info: OUR NEXT TWO HOUR EARLY RELEASE DAY WILL BE WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 11, 2026. The school day ends at 12:30 p.m. Please complete the following REGISTRATION to let us know your plans for your child or children on this day. Please fill out a separate registration for each child. We ask that you fill this form out for EACH Early Release because it is easier for us to track. Thank you for your cooperation.
~ Walk-A-Thon: Please continue to turn in the fundraising envelopes. So far, we have earned extra recess AND music in the cafeteria! :-)
~ Doctor/Dentist Notes: As a reminder, please make sure to bring a doctor note should your child be gone for any type of appointment. Please include the date and the time of the appointment. Depending on the time of the appointment, we do need students in school before and after the appointment. Thank you!
~ No Halloween Costumes: As we approach Halloween, just a friendly reminder that we do not wear Halloweeen costumes to school. IF ACES allows this, costumes should be sure to stay put away until ACES.
~ Date Change: Please note that the PTO needed to change the date for Family Game Night. It is now on Thursday, January 21 from 6:00-7:30pm. For those of you who are "mark your calendar" kind of people, please note is not on January 28 anymore.
As always, thank you for your support!
