Spelling New spelling sorts went home on Tuesday. Students are being asked to choose a different activity from the Spelling Homework sheet to complete each night (Mon-Thurs) to help them master their spelling words. Once your child has completed the activity, please place the activity in their spelling folder and initial the activity square. There are only 7 activities this week, due to Columbus Day. They should be attached to the Spelling Homework Sheet and turned in on Friday, October 23, which is the day of the assessment.

Important October Dates & Announcements
Conferences for home room students’ parents will be held the first week of November. Sign ups will be coming out soon.
Halloween:
The Halloween party and parade will be on Friday, October 30th. The party is at 1:10. The parade will begin at 2:10.
Please keep in mind the following guidelines when helping your child pick out a Halloween costume:
1. We only have 15 minutes for costume changes. Please make sure your child can change into his/her costume easily and by themselves. If the costume can be worn over their clothes, then both the time to change and the chances of losing any clothes is minimized.
2. If the costume involves make up, please apply it before your child comes to school. If you send your child in with make up, then your child has to be able to apply it themselves.
3. Please do not send any weapons (guns, swords, etc.) as part of the costume. Save those for trick-or-treating.
4. We will not have time to change back into our clothes for dismissal. Your child will wear their costume home.
