Hello!

November… here we come!

A FEW THINGS:

1. The sun shade is officially installed, and it is AMAZING!

2. November: Kindergarten-5th Grade are in uniform pants, gym sweats, gym shorts with leggings underneath, etc. We will continue to send out Uniform Reminders. In addition, just because those pants are long, please follow the sock policy. I know we have some tricksters out there.

3. Please see the attached flyer for Donuts with Grown Ups. RSVPs are VERY important for this event. We want to make sure we have enough goodies for all.

4. We have an in person PTO Meeting on Tuesday, November 3 at 6:30pm in the library.

5. We celebrated our first PBIS Quarterly Reward last week! Our littles had a Monster Mash while our bigs celebrated with a Fall Farm Halloween Day! The day was filled with smiles, laughter, and exhausted staff members. Haha. Joking aside, the positivity around here is amazing. The kids are rocking our Be Statements (Be Respectful, Be Responsible, Be Safe, and Be a Problem Solver). We are proud of the way they are putting our expectations into practice each day! A shout out to Mrs. Kandel who leads our PBIS Initiative- thank you for your help in making our school a fun and awesome place to grow!

6. EXCITING NEWS: We have a SC ONLINE STORE! These items are great for reppin’ the school at sporting events or a trip through the grocery store. It is important to note: THESE ARE NOT UNIFORM ITEMS. Just swag for supporting our awesome school!

7. The SC Poinsettia Sale is up and running! Place orders by November 13. Pick up is December 10. ORDER FORM

8. Thank you for the amazing turn out for our Trunk-or-Treat! It was such a wonderful spending time together as a school community. We love seeing our SC families come together. Thank you, PTO, for putting on the event. Appreciate you all!

9. Yearbook Order Forms were passed out last week. You can also purchase HERE.

10. The end of Quarter 1 was last week. Report Cards will come home on Friday, November 6.

Ever this day, be at my side,
To light and guard, to rule and guide.
Amen.
