Week of October 4

The morning air is crisp and fall is upon us as we approach the six week mark of the first semester.  Progress reports will be generated on Friday and sent out to families on Monday.  We will also include 2021 WYTOPP report with progress reports.  Please review your student's report with them and discuss areas of celebration and areas for growth.  Scout Learning Lab (SLL) is available Monday-Friday from 3:05-4:00 for students who need additional time and support to demonstrate their learning.  Please contact your student's teachers to make arrangements to stay for SLL. 

Fall conferences are just around the corner.  The will be held on Wednesday October 20th and Thursday, October 21st. Teachers will be available to meet with families from 3:30-7:30 on the 20th and from 8:00-7:00 on the 21st.  Conferences will be held in person and via Zoom.  In person attendees will be required to follow all current health guidelines.  Families sign up for conferences using PTCFast.  Our registration link will go live on Monday, October 11th.  When registering, please indicate if your are attending in person or via Zoom by adding "in person" or "Zoom" in the special request box. We strongly encourage all families to participate in conferences.  It's a great time to check in on your student's progress and to share your thoughts with us on what is going well and suggestions for how we can collaborate effectively in support of your student.  There is no school for students on the 21st and 22nd due to conferences and the 20th is a half day so students will be dismissed at 11:23. 

Some of our industrious students have been applying their entrepreneurial skills during the school day by selling candy to their classmates.  While I applaud their initiative and support the free market, candy is not part of our healthy snack guidelines and unfortunately the wrappers from the item of choice, pixie sticks, are ending up all over our school. Please review the healthy snack guidelines found in our handbook and encourage your student to make smart choices when bringing snacks to school.

Let's continue to work together and make it a great week. Amazing things are happening in our classrooms, on our athletic fields, and across our community.  We face obstacles of course, but by continuing to work together we can sustain our momentum and have continued success.  Go Scouts!
