Wow, I can’t believe that we have already reached the end of October!  I’m looking forward to a great week ahead with my students.

This week marks the last full week of the quarter, with the last day of the quarter being Monday, November 1st.  I still have a number of grades to enter for classwork and other assessments, so thank you very much for your patience.  Please encourage your child to use their time wisely in class to complete assignments on time.  I am very proud of how hard my students have been working this year!

Parent-teacher conferences will take place next week.  I will be sending out more information about sign-ups on Wednesday of this week.  Some conferences will take place on the evening of Wednesday, Nov. 3, and others will take place during the morning on Thursday, Nov. 4.

Our “Treats for the Troops” service project begins this week!  Families are invited to donate items to the Blue Star Families Organization to make care packages for troops serving overseas.  The collections will begin on Monday, Oct. 25th.  A flier was sent home with your child last week.  Please send in the items that correspond to your child’s “House.”  Thank you for your support with this important service opportunity!

Here is a look at our week ahead:

Have a great week, everyone!
