Week of November 9-13 

Congratulations to Kaitlyn for being Awesome Author and Hunter for being on the "A" Team!  You did a great job on your book reports for Tuck Everlasting!

There will be no school on Wednesday because of Veteran's Day.

Parent/Teacher Conferences are on November 9th from 4:00 - 7:00.  Because of the class size (29 students), there were not enough conference slots to meet with everyone.  For those parents who were not able to get a slot and would still like to meet with me, we can meet on most regular school days from 9-9:15 or 3:15-3:30.  Just let me know, and we can arrange a conference time.  

Pleae see the Make-up Work Guidelines link below for an explanation of the updated procedure.
