November News :)

Dear Parents/Guardians,

The students in room 143 have done an excellent job at showing respect this past month! For the month of November the whole school will be focusing on the word CITIZENSHIP. Please help by talking with your child about ways to be a good citizen.

Parent conferences will be on November 14th. I will be sending home a sign-up where you can pick three times that are convenient for you. I will try my best to give you your first choice. Please remember that I cannot give your child their report card. You must come to school on conference night and pick it up. I hope you all have a wonderful and relaxing Thanksgiving!

-Mrs. Kelly
