Message From Our Principal
Sailor Families,
It’s a busy week! We have Student-Led Conferences on Thursday, our annual Fall Fest on Saturday, AND, for the first time in 44 years, THE BREWERS ARE IN THE WORLD SERIES!! As a school we are going to celebrate this historic achievement with some fun dress up days!
Conferences
Conferences will take place October 22th and 27th from 4:00-7:30pm.
15 minute conferences will be a time to celebrate growth and to talk about goals.
Students will lead a portion of this conference and will utilize their Portfolios.
Please limit the people in the conference to: the student giving the conference, the parents/guardians, and the classroom teacher. This helps to keep the focus on the student during the conference.
To help with this, we will again be having free childcare for younger siblings in our Library area (Solutionist Studio) during your conference time
Additional chairs will be available outside the classrooms for older Sailors and siblings not in need of childcare
To help assist us with staying on time, a chime bell will sound every 15 minutes to alert a change in conferences. We will all work very hard to stay on-time.
If your child meets with an interventionist, special education, GT teacher, etc., and you signed up you will attend a separate 15 minute time with them as well (separate from the classroom teacher).
While here, you can stop in the office to have your drivers license scanned into our Raptor system for future visits if you have not done so already.
Lastly, to help celebrate, there will again be a book fair in our main hallway!
Brewer School Spirit Days!
Brewers are in the World Series for the first time in 44 years! Yeah!!!! As a school we will be doing some fun dress up days to help celebrate. See the image below for more information.
Fall Fest
Fall Fest is this Saturday from 9-12! Costumes, games, raffles, trunk or treat, and much, much more! As a reminder, a FREE punchcard was sent home with your child to use at Fall Fest.
