Hello!
Harvest Festival was a huge success, lots of fun had by all! Thanks to those of you who were able to attend.
It was a busy but super fun week last week with our visiting artist and Sudarshan. You’ll see some of the paintings that the kids did lining the hallway and we’ll get the rest out early this week.
A few notes to get you rolling:
1) First, and most importantly, Patti is out all this week. Kelli will be here covering for her.
2) Fire Drill on Tuesday at 9am.
3) Teacher Collaboration Meetings on Tuesday this week. K-2 please meet in Grade 2, 3-5 please meet in Grade 4. Be on the look out for an email to guide your conversations on Tuesday.
4) SIW this week is a Teacher Work Day.
5) Student Success Meetings will be on Wednesday, November 6. I’ll send out a schedule soon.
6) It’s SLGG time once again. I’ll be sending you your SLGG to upload to UKG soon–be on the lookout. Please upload it as soon as you get it.
7) I sent you information about Bias lessons last week and this a friendly reminder that we want to get these done by November 15. Required Lessons
8) During Harvest Festival they once again sold raffle tickets for the opportunity to throw a pie in my face (0ver $600 raised so far!). We will do this at the end of Community Time on Friday.
9) We’ve set a date for Jammie Jam–please put November 14 on your calendar. We’ll do this in the last block of the day with K-2 doing the first 30 minutes and 3-5 doing the last 30 minutes (no Invitations, Frans/Lauren we’ll figure something out for Grade 3 PE). Kiddos will also wear PJs to school that day (earned by collecting enough coins at Harvest Festival 😉).
10) Amity Eats (fundraiser) this Thursday at Pastini. I’ll be sending a reminder to parents but it would be great if you could include in communications with parents this week. Thanks!
11) Lastly, but super important–we’re at that time of year when we need to remind kiddos to grab their jackets on the way out to lunch. Having to walk with a kiddo to get their jacket out of their classroom during lunch recess is a big hassle, especially now with their only being 3 of us on the playground. Your support with this is greatly appreciated!
I’ll be sending the following out to parents to introduce Libby to the community, just thought it would great to share with you, too:
Here’s to a great week ahead!
Andy
PS: Yes, I know the formatting on the calendars is a little wonky–it’s not how it looks when I create it but it gets wonky in translation.
