Weather forecasters have been speaking of the potential of our first winter weather event of the season. We will use our school app, Facebook page, website, phone call and text to notify families of any school day changes. If school is called completely off for the day, we will use virtual instruction expectations in order to "have school" that day. Clink on the link below to view these expectations. Thank you.

Reminder, Wednesday, November 6th, is a scheduled early out. Students will be dismissed at 1:40 PM for teacher professional development.
A couple of reminders as the weather is turning colder:
Please ensure students are dressed appropriately. Elementary students should be wearing jackets, hats, gloves, and boots when muddy. Students go outside for recesses every day (pending weather), so please make sure they are coming to school ready for the colder weather. Many students were complaining about being cold at recess today. Additionally, when the snow season starts, student are required to have heavy jackets, snow pants, boots, hats, and gloves so please start planning ahead for the winter season.
Reminder, the school doors do not open until 8:00 AM. Please make sure students are arriving after 8:00 to ensure the doors are unlocked for them.
Report Cards are coming home with your students today. Please call the office, if you do not receive them. Thanks you.

We will be hosting the Scholastic Book Fair during Parent/Teacher Conferences on Wednesday, October 16th from 3:30 - 9:00 PM. The book fair will also be open Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday from 3:20 to 4:30 the following week. Please stop by the library/art room to check out all the great books.
New this year is "Share the Fair" where people can round up and/or donate to support our students who need help buying books from the fair. Our goal is to be able to give each elementary student a book this year.
Thanks for your support.

Reminder, parent/teacher conferences are rescheduled for Wednesday, October 16th from 4:00 to 9:00 PM. We are sorry for the inconvenience this causes, but with volleyball scheduled that night, we wanted to make sure all our parents were available.
High School conferences will be held in each individual teacher's classroom. They are on a first come first serve basis. If a teacher is in the middle of a conference, please wait in the designated area outside their classroom until they have finished their conference.
Elementary conferences are scheduled conferences at specific times. Please sign up on the attached link for a conference time with the appropriate teacher for your child(ren). Please note Mrs. Dunlap's times are different due to a prior engagement. If these times don't work, please arrange for an alternate date with Mrs. Dunlap.
We can't wait to visit with all our parents at conferences.
