Important Announcements:
*Attention Parent Volunteers! I need approximately five parent volunteers on Monday, October 18th from 9:30 a.m. - 11:30 a.m. If you can come in, please contact me!
*On Monday I will be sending home parent teacher conference sign up forms. If you scheduled yours during Meet the Teacher night, then you will not receive a sign up form. Please look this form over for the available time slots and select your top three choices. Return this to me no later than Friday, October 15th. After I have this information, I will send home confirmation letters with your scheduled date and time.
*Your child brought home a Book-It reading calendar for the month of October. This is OPTIONAL. If your child reads for twenty minutes, twenty days out of the month of October and turns the reading calendar back in on November 1st, he/she will earn a coupon for a free personal pan pizza from Pizza Hut. Happy Reading!
*Are you handy? I need a handy parent volunteer that can rig a thermometer somewhere outside so that we can check the temperature daily. Let me know if you are interested
