Just a quick reminder that if your child arrives at school after 8:40 they may be marked absent. If your child does come to school late, please have them stop by the office for a late slip so the office knows they are here.
Special Visitors Nov 8
I am so excited to welcome some special visitors into our classroom next week from the SPCA. We will be having Ms Bailey and her dog Poppy coming in to help us learn about how animals show their emotions, and how we can be kind to them with our actions. Ms Bailey will be bringing her dog Poppy with her. I do realize we have some friends who may have some fear of dogs and also potentially some allergies. It is my plan to do a lot of front-loading about Poppy coming before she gets here to try to alleviate any worry, and to keep children with dog allergies from close interactions with Poppy.
Please let me know if you have any questions about that.
Hot Lunch Missions Fundraiser
We have a team going from Highroad to the Philippines this year during Spring Break. Nov 6 there will be a hot lunch fundraiser for the team. Orders need to be placed TODAY on Munchalunch in order for your child to participate.
Thanks for supporting this worthy cause!
Crazy Hair Day
This Tuesday (tomorrow) is crazy hair day! UPDATE- Students can also wear casual clothes.
Photo Retake Day Monday October 30
If you would like your child to have their photo retaken- or taken for the first time if they missed the first opportunity, Monday is the day!
You can take your child down to the church foyer first thing in the morning or we can try to send them down at 9 am for a picture.
Warm Clothes
As the temperature takes a dip, I wanted to remind you all that we go outside each day (unless the rain is particularly hard). Please send your child to school with what they need to be warm and dry outside (boots, mittens or gloves, a jacket with a hood). If it is an “out day” all students will be going outside whether they have brought the appropriate outerwear or not. We had some sad friends yesterday who didn’t have hoods on jackets for the rain, or boots for their feet. The bark mulch gets VERY muddy! Thanks for your help with this.
