Information Items/Dates to Remember:
· It is very important that you label your child’s jackets, sweaters, coats, shoes, backpack, etc… to help us get lost items of clothing to their rightful owners! A lost and found box has been set up on the dance floor, so you can check if your child has lost something.
· Students visit the Library each Thursday and may take books out to take home or keep at school to read. All library books need to be returned each Thursday.
· Please continue to check your child’s hair nightly as there have been cases of lice in our school.
·
Report Cards will be sent home on Monday, November 21, 2016.
·
Book Fair – November 22-25, 2016.

Please choose an appointment time for Parent Teacher Interview.
·
Parent Teacher Interviews - Friday, November 25, 2016 – No School.
There will be 2 Christmas concert performances this year for K-2 students. The dates are December 12th and 13th. The Christmas Concert is called “Elflandia” and both shows will be at 9:15 a.m. on those dates. Families with last names starting with A-K are Monday, and families with last names starting with L-Z are Tuesday. The children will perform for both concerts and parents will attend one concert to watch.
Homework
· Each week, your child will be bringing home books at his/her independent reading level (good fit books). Please make time each night to allow your child to read these to you. An important component of strengthening your child’s reading skills is regular home reading practice.
· For some fun math practice at home with your child, continue to practice addition facts by playing a math game. Make sure to visit the Xtra Math site.
· As always if you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to call me at school, send a note in your child’s communication bag, or send me an email.
