ePack #11

Dear Families:

We have just a few days left until Thanksgiving break!  I hope you enjoy the time next week with family and friends.  Please remember that Wednesday, November 25th is an early release day at 11:30 a.m.  Morning kindergarten students will be dismissed with the rest of the school at 11:30 a.m. and there will obviously be no afternoon kindergarten.  
Conference Forms:  Please be sure to return your parent-teacher conference form by Monday, November 23rd.  If you need a new one, please contact the school.  

Mock Lockdown Drill:  All of the elementary schools are running a mock lockdown drill on Tuesday, November 24th.  This simply involves the teachers gathering the children in an area in the classroom and locking the door.  I will then check each door to make sure it is locked.  We will tell the children we are practicing for a weather emergency.  A Connect-Ed phone call will be made Monday evening, but I wanted to give you a heads up.  This is no different than running a fire drill, except we are staying in the building rather than exiting the building.  

No School:  Please remember that there is no school on Thanksgiving, Thursday, November 26th and Friday, November 27th.  

Mrs. Chagnon:  I regret to inform you that our Administrative Assistant, Mrs. Chagnon, is taking a position at the Special Education Department at the Woodcock Building effective November 30th.  I plan on appointing her replacement next week.  Mrs. Chagnon and I started our 8th year working together this school year. She has been a wonderful assistant and we will miss her very much.  Best of luck, Mrs. Chagnon!  We know you're close by!

Winter Fair Volunteers:  Please note the posting in today's ePack.  

Box Tops:  Please note the Box Tops Collection Sheet in the Nov. 12th ePack folder. 

Have a great weekend!
