*Thank you to all who ordered books this month! The order has been placed and we are hoping they get here by Wednesday before the break.


*Please help your child practice tying his or her own shoes. We have a lot of untied shoes throughout the day and this will help our day move more smoothly. Thanks!

Conferences will be held Wednesday, November 8th (4:00-8:00), Thursday, November 9 (12:00-8:00) and Friday, November 10 (8:00-12:00). These are the only times that conferences will be held.
