Parent/Teacher conferences continue this week which means we are on minimum day schedule the entire week. Kindergarten students are dismissed at 1:30pm and 1st through 6th grade students are dismissed at 1:45pm all this week.

The Book Fair is opened Monday – Thursday this week from 8:15 – 10:00 in the morning and 1:15 – 3:00 in the afternoons. Stop by and support our school PTA fundraiser.

PTA needs volunteers for Red Ribbon Week and the Masquerade Festival is coming up in the month of October.

It’s not to late to become a member of the PTA. Kindergarten is in the lead with 33% of their families joining PTA. Mrs. Jones class is in the lead with the most memberships overall 21 families out of 31. The grade level and class with the highest membership will receive a class party from me – Mrs. McLaren. The last day to join is this Friday!

WANTED: Box Tops for Education. Many food items that come in boxes have a “Box Tops for Education” bar coded label. Cut this out, send it school and we can exchange these labels for technology tools, sports equipment, art supplies and much more. This is a very easy way to support the school especially during these tough financial times. Send the Box Tops in to your child’s teacher or the school office. The class that turns in the most “Box Tops for Education” by October 8 will receive a Special Prize!

The last day of the first quarter is this Friday, September 21. School will resume for the 2nd quarter on Tuesday, October 9.
