As we roll into November I want to remind everyone that we have P/T conferences coming up quickly. We will have conferences after school on November 16 & 17. I encourage everyone to meet or touch base with their student(s)’ teacher(s). These are valuable conversations that help us work together to help the children be successful. The 1st trimester ends on November 11. That is when the skyward gradebook will be turned off for families. Online Skyward gradebook in family access will reopen on No- vember 18 after school which is our official report card day. As the weather gets colder, please make sure the kids are dressed appropriately. We will be going outside as long as the temperature is 20 degrees or warmer with wind chill. I always tell the kids to dress in layers. Parent Teacher Conferences Parent Teacher conferences for elementary students will be held on Wednesday, No- vember 16th and Thursday, November 17th from 3:00-6:00 PM. Please contact your child’s teacher if you would like to set up a conference time. Weather Reminders RECESS Please be sure that your child comes to school dressed appropriately for any out- side recess time. Children will go outside for recess on days when the temperature (with wind chill) is 20 degrees or above. Keep in mind that the temperature fluctu- ates during the day and it is always better to send your child prepared with a winter coat, hat and gloves.
