A Few Updates

Hi all!

Just wanted to throw a few things out there:

1). Its looks like we have enough drivers for our field trip tom OMSI on Wednesday. Thanks so much!

2). If your child needs a booster seat, please leave it outside the classroom on the morning of our field trip. We were a missing a few last time but were able to scrounge them up. Please remember that this not only a school policy but also the law.

3). We will have a Halloween day this Friday. We have a few rules:

The committe to develop Halloween guidelines came up with the following items to share with your students and parents regarding Halloween costumes and activities.

1. Costumes should be appropriate for a mixed age setting.

2. Masks are allowed only during the halloween parade.

3. Weapons of any sort are not allowed at school.

4. Accessories that are disruptive or a violation of the rights and responsibilities are not allowed or should be turned off.

We are asking that students do not come dressed in their costumes to school. It creates a big distraction and we are planning on doing some science experiments the day of. We don't want to ruin anyone's costumes. We will provide ample time for kids to change into their costumes with teacher/parent help.

4). Please remember that even though we have a somewhat relaxed policy for students showing up to school (we allow students into their classrooms at 8:15 for some social/activity time) we really do want the entire class present at 8:30. That is when we first dive into our academic time with our morning challenges and shortly after go through our morning message (schedule of the day).

5). Just a reminder to sign your child up ahead of time if he/she is planning on having a school lunch. The meals have been amazing. I can testify. It really helps on cutting down on costs.

Thanks for such an amazing start to the school year. This class absolutely rocks!

Best,

Whitney
