I hope to see many students excited to participate in this week's spirit week! I'll see many of you online Wednesday evening at the PTO's virtual meeting, and we're looking forward to our Walk to School event on Friday.

Help Needed with Car Drop-Off & Pick-Up
No Left Turns, Please!
We kindly ask for your cooperation in keeping car drop-off and pick-up running smoothly while avoiding traffic back-ups on the street. To help with this, please do not make a left-hand turn into the car drop-off or pick-up lane.
- At arrival, turning left cuts off other cars who have been waiting patiently and causes a traffic back-up on Rue de Fleur, holding up neighborhood traffic.
- At dismissal, making a left-hand turn into the pick-up lane means you will miss the staff member responsible for entering your family number into the pick-up system. As a result, your child will not be lined up and ready for pick-up when you arrive.
If you drive to Bellerive from the north, please refer to the map below for alternative routes through the neighborhood that will allow you to make a right-hand turn into the drop-off and pick-up lane.
PNH Track or Treat on October 23rd

Guest Speaker for Parents about Cyberbullying on October 29
Nationwide, cyberbullying and teen self harm/suicide are on the rise. The increased access that today's youth have to technology and social media opens the door to this behavior as both the victim and the cause. As parents, it is admittedly difficult to navigate this topic with your child(ren). To help you learn more about this topic and receive tips that can support you at home, the Parkway School District has established a parent event to address this topic. Tina Meier, of the Megan Meier Foundation, will be conducting a presentation at West Middle School on October 29th at 6:30pm. Mrs. Meier will share the the story of her daughter, Megan, along with the devastating effects of bullying, cyberbullying, and suicide. This powerful message will be followed by an audience Q&A that will allow the participants to seek advice and ask questions that could prove to be a powerful experience for all in attendance. For more information, please check out the attached flyer and, if interested in attending, please click here to kindly RSVP.
