This coming week is Connection Week. Looking forward to fun dress up days and ways to connect with community, family, and more. Check out the daily dress ups listed in the weekly calendar.
Tomorrow (Monday) is HAT DAY. Wear your favorite hat to school.
As part of connecting to community, we are hosting a coat drive. New and gently used coats/jackets can be dropped off at the vestibule container or in the office.
This week will also be our school spirit night at Classic Skating (Connect to Family on Wednesday). We will have our traditional photo on the rink at 5:30pm. Please be on the rink side right on time as they don't announce the picture on the game side of the venue.
Check out the other Friday events: 3rd Grade Market Day and 6th Grade Space Center. Teachers will send home more information about these events to their individual classes.
Call the office if you have any questions.

We would like to give a high-5 to our parents that helped at our Halloween parties. We appreciate you taking the time to get your background check and being prepared to help.
As a quick refresher for parties: - All volunteers must be background checked & All treats must be store bought.
We have lots of fun activities and parties coming up in December. We know teachers will be asking for volunteers. If you want to be involved, please plan now to get your background check completed. It must be done at least two weeks in advance of any event you plan to attend. Any volunteer helping at the school must be background checked.
