The Fruit Scoop!

I hope everyone has enjoyed a great start to the school year. The 1st quarter will be ending on Friday, November 1st and reports cards will be sent home for grades 1-3 on Thursday, November 14th. Pre-K and Kindergarten will receive reports cards in January and June.

It is important for all families to note that we do not wear costumes to school on Halloween.

Please save the costumes for home, including the accessories for costumes, for your Halloween evening festivities. Some costumes can be frightening to other students, distracting during the school day, and we don't want any part of the costume getting ripper or ruined before the big night.

Thank you for your cooperation.

A reminder for students to bring their water bottles to school every day. Hydration is crucial for their well-being and concentration in the classroom. Thank you for your cooperation in keeping students refreshed throughout the day.

**The office does have cups for those students when they forget or lose their water bottle.**
