November 5 - 9, 2012


NEWS FOR PARENTS:

We have been asked to remind you that checkout time in the office is 2:15 p.m.  After that time, you must wait in the car rider line.  Also remember that students MUST have a written note in order to change transportation.  The large number of phone calls are becoming a problem.  You may FAX your request to change transportation.  Planning ahead is crucial.  We need your help with these things and appreciate your kindness in remembering!

IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT!
Thursday, November 8th----PTA/Math Night!  6:00 - 7:00 p.m.  Blue Pods will perform, and then we will move into classrooms for Math Activities.  PLEASE sign and return bottom of the yellow sheet we sent home to you.  We must have an idea of how many children will perform and number of parents attending.  Thank you!

Monday, November 12th----Veteran's Day!  No School!  Hug a Veteran and tell him or her how much you appreciate the sacrifices made for the freedoms we enjoy.
