News for the Week of October 12, 2020

“If you always do what you’ve always done, you’ll always get what you’ve always got.”― Henry Ford

This quote by Henry Ford is often used to encourage people to think differently about how they are doing things. Right now, I am using it to tell you that we are going to keep doing what we are doing, because it's working!  We just completed week 4 and have had no positive cases of the virus.  I appreciate your support, we will continue our work to keep everyone safe and healthy.

Thank you, families, for prioritizing time to talk with your child's teacher about his/her progress and next steps for growth. Your partnership is key to a successful school year together. We are committed to meeting with 100% of our families. Please note that due to safety considerations, our conferences will be scheduled virtually this fall. Please look for email correspondence from our staff.

HALLOWEEN

All kids are welcome to wear costumes all day.  Parents should use good judgement on costumes, maybe leaving the bulkier pieces of costumes at home.  A reminder that masks for health safety will still need to be worn and no weapons or look alike weapons should come to school.

All classes will have some sort of class party, activities and treats will be determined by the teacher.  Information about the class celebration will be shared in teacher blogs.

We will take a picture of each child in costume to put together a video that will take place of the parade.  We'll provide a link so families can watch this at home.
