Community info
Hi,
We are now in the cooler, crisper days of fall so please make sure your student has layers as it can vary in temperature quite a bit throughout the day! Chilly mornings and warm afternoon means coats get left on the playground so also make sure their name is on a tag or inside the coat/jacket/hoodie so if it gets tossed off when the day gets warmer, we can get it back to them!
Please make sure to sign up for conferences in mid-November if you haven't yet with your teacher!
Reminder that students can get a certificate and a prize for coming to school every day! They get entered into a hat to be chosen for a prize and certificate of perfect attendance every week! We want students here every day (unless they are throwing up, have a fever, or diarrhea- please keep them home).
Warmly,
Liz McFarland (she/her)
