SCHOOL NEWS...
Reminder: This Friday, October 25th is a Non-Instructional Day and there is NO SCHOOL for students. Enjoy your weekend!
Lifetouch Photos: Lifetouch photos have arrived and will be coming home today or tomorrow. Paper orders are DUE back to your classroom teacher by October 29th. Retakes will be on November 15th.
Snacks & Utensils: As children grow, their nutritional needs change. Please have a chat with your child(ren) to see if they might need additional snacks in their lunches. Also, if you are packing food items that require eating utensils, please ensure that you send them along with your child.
Wet Weather Preparedness: As we get more wet weather, families are asked to have their children dressed appropriately to go outside as most days children will go outdoors for their breaks. Rubber boots, waterproof jackets and rain pants are suggested especially if your child likes to play in/near the puddles! A full change of clothes in their backpacks is also helpful should they need to change.
