So many great things were accomplished this week! 💕

It is the district's first time using ReachMyTeach for scheduling conferences.  There was an error in the schedule. I am sorry this occurred.  Please disregard the appointment you may have made.  A new sign up is expected to be sent out this week.  Thank you for your patience.

Several families have asked how they can help.
Dry clean shoes are very helpful so that the wet boots or shoes can go in your child's locker.  
This helps keep our carpets dry & clean.
Your child is welcome to keep a second pair of shoes here at school, so they do not have to be carried home each day.

It would also be greatly appreciated if you could visit PowerSchool and check to be sure you have entered an emergency contact other than the parent information.  
We will always contact parents first, but really wish to have a separate contact when you can not be reached, thanks!

                                    Coming up this week: 

No school Monday, October 12th.
Indigenous Peoples' Day


 Friday: Field trip to Pumpkin Valley Farm (weather pending).   
Please dress your child in layers with appropriate footwear for the weather.  If possible it is helpful if your child wears their kindergarten t-shirt.  If you did not order a bag lunch, please be sure to pack a snack, lunch, and your child's water bottle for this trip.  We will eat snack & lunch at the farm.  
We are all excited for this trip!


I have volunteers for this field trip.  If you wish to be a chaperone for a field trip at any point this year, please be sure 
all your requirements are up to date, thank you! 💕
