Week of November 17, 2024

There is important PTL information listed below each week - be sure to scroll all the way down when reading this news letter.


The book fair is here! Students will be able to shop with their class starting on Tuesday, Nov 19, and parents can come in on conference night, November 26, to shop with their children.


Conferences are coming - be sure to sign up for a conference with your child's teacher if you have not already done so. Conferences are November 25 and 26.


The Holiday Season - every year we help our families who find themselves struggling during the holidays. This year the PTL is sponsoring a turkey feather drive during lunches (students can purchase paper feathers for 25 cents each to put on the turkey) All proceeds go to purchase supermarket gift cards. We are inviting anyone who would like to donate a gift card to a local supermarket to do so this week. Any amount is greatly appreciated. Supermarket gift cards can be sent in to the office. The PTL and our families in need thank you!


PBIS News - We are working with students on being responsible. Whether it is turning in an assignment, opening the car door independently to get in or out of the car in the car line, or bringing important papers home from school, we are working to helping all students be responsible.
