October 30th: Halloween Parade

Fall conferences are fast approaching. Here is some information on conference dates and times, and information on how to sign up for conferences. Conference sign ups are open now!

• TFE will be observing Halloween on Friday, October 30st.

• We will have our annual progressive costume parade at 2:30 on October 30th.

• Shopping for a Halloween costume? We want Halloween to be fun, not scary, and we have children as young as three in our school. Here are some guidelines we're asking you to observe so everybody can enjoy the day:

• No gore: Blood, guts, eyeballs hanging out, etc.

• Costumes should be in good taste and appropriate for our young school community.

• PLEASE don't send your child to school with an inappropriate costume. They will be required to change, and that's no fun for the student or Mr. Riebe!!

• No weapons of any kind should be brought to school- even fake weapons that are accessories to a costume (e.g. ninja swords, ray guns, battle axes, etc).

• No face paint or hair coloring spray- the custodians will already have a monumental cleaning task after the class parties!

This November, Minnesota voters will see a constitutional amendment on the ballot related to the Permanent School Fund—a long-standing fund that helps support public schools across the state. The proposed amendment would update how money from the fund can be distributed to Minnesota school districts while preserving the fund for future generations. It’s an important topic for Minnesota schools and communities, and we encourage residents to learn more before heading to the polls. he amendment does not create a new tax or increase individual income or property taxes.

CL homecoming is tonight! For those attending the game, we want you to have a wonderful evening cheering on our Wildcats. We also want to make sure you know what to expect. So please click here for some details and expectations for the evening.

Students in grades 2-5 will be taking a social-emotional screener called mySAEBRS. mySAEBERs has 20 questions and takes about 3-5 minutes for students to complete. Your child’s answers will be used to help teachers select topics for their classroom morning meeting, as well as identify students that may need extra support. Your child will be completing this screener the week of October 19th during their computer lab time. If you have questions about this screening tool, please contact Maddison Nordquist at 651-213-2133.

If you do NOT want your child to participate in this screening, please sign and return the parent opt-out letter by October 12th.
