ePack #11

Dear Families:

I hope your parent-teacher conferences went well today and you found these conversations helpful and informative.  Our teachers put a great deal of thought into these meetings and I hope they were able to address any concerns you may have.  

School Pictures:  These should be arriving within the next couple days.  When you do get them, please note that School Picture Make-Up Day is Wednesday, November 30th.  

Lead and Copper Letter:  Please note a letter from the Director of Facilities and Grounds, Kyle Kummer, in today's ePack.  Each school has received a letter.  

Soup and Cookie Fundraiser:  Please note that distribution day is Monday, November 21st. You can pick up your orders at the back of the school at the loading door from 2:30 p.m. - 4:30 p.m.  Please make sure you are able to pick up your order during these times as we do not have space to store frozen or perishable food. 

Update:  We actually raised $324 during our "Super Grover Day" this past Tuesday.  The donations have been given to the Grover family as they travel back and forth to Boston for their son's medical operations.  Good luck, Mikey!  We're all pulling for you.  

Upcoming Schedule:  

Friday, November 18th:  Early Dismissal at 11:30 a.m. for students in Full Day Kindergarten - Grade 5.  NO SCHOOL for Half-Day Kindergarten students.

Wednesday, November 23rd:  Early Dismissal at 11:30 a.m. for Thanksgiving Break.

Have a great weekend!

ePack #9

Dear Families:

Thank you for attending Title I Family Night last night!  The Title I staff (Mrs. Brems - Director, Mrs. McGinley - Title I teacher, Ms. Augoustakis - Title I paraprofessional) worked very hard to prepare for last night, so I hope you enjoyed the evening.  If you were unable to make it, we will be holding other Family Nights this school year.  

No School:  Please remember that there is no school on Tuesday, November 8th (Professional Development Day) and Friday, November 11th (Veterans Day).  

Compliment Cards:  For the month of November, the children need to earn 250 Compliment Cards to earn a "spirit day" at the end of the month.  I have full confidence the children can do it!

Dismissal:  There have been some children playing football in the Barrows Street parking lot at dismissal time recently.  Please speak to your child about this and that it is not allowed due to safety concerns.  Thanks!

PTO Meeting:  Our next PTO meeting is Monday, November 14th at 7:00 p.m.  

Parent-Teacher Conferences:  Parent-Teacher Conferences will be held on Thursday, November 17th and Friday, November 18th.  Both days are early dismissals at 11:30 a.m. and no school for half day kindergarten students. 

That's all for now!  Have a great weekend!
