FROM THE PRINCIPAL’S DESK
PICTURE RETAKES: The date for picture retakes is scheduled for Friday, November 2nd, 2018.
FLU AND COLD SEASON: Please remind your children to drink plenty of liquids and get plenty of sleep in the next few months. We want our children in school for effective learning. Proper nutrition and plenty of rest will help the students stay in school, where we want them, on a daily basis.
COATS AND HATS: Fall weather is here, with winter weather just around the corner. When the temperature gets colder, please send your child to school with hats and gloves, along with their winter coats. Students will need winter boots when the snow starts to land on the ground and stick.
HALLOWEEN PARTIES: Halloween parties will begin at 2:30 on Wednesday, October 31st. Kindergarten students are the only students who dress up for Halloween. This year the Kindergarten students will only dress up after lunch. They will parade at the Andbe Home, Whispering Pines and then around the school prior to their homeroom parties. Parents of Kindergarten students please send your child’s costume in their backpack and the students will dress after lunch.
PARENT TEACHER CONFERENCES: Please remember that if parents have questions, they can contact their teacher via e-mail for clarification. To email your teacher use the first letter of their first name, then their last name, add @usd 211.org.
