Dear Parents,

Next week your child will take our first theme test (magazine test).  This test assesses your child’s comprehension, phonics/decoding, and writing.  This is one of four theme tests to be taken this year.  It is one of the tools used to measure your child’s reading abilities.  During parent-teacher conferences, I will review your child’s results with you. 

Our magazine test will begin on Tuesday and should be completed by Thursday.  On Monday I will be out of the classroom.  My meeting for Thursday was moved to Monday.  Ms. Deborah Brownlee is my substitute.  I will be available before and after school.

Our Halloween party is Friday from 11:45 to 3:00 p.m. Students’ costumes need to come to school in a bag with their name on it.  If your child has a weapon as part of his/her costume, it needs to stay at home.  If you’ve sign up for a treat, please let me know ahead of time so we don’t duplicate treats.  Currently Mrs. Gutowski is bringing a spider web treat (chocolate & peanut butter).  Mrs. Keys is bringing fruit and dip.  Mr. Torrey is bringing Jell-O and Ants on a Log. 

Enclosed you will find another enrichment schedule.  I’ve had to make some changes.  Please replace this one with the previous version.

The following are dates that you may want to add to your calendar:

  • School Store – November 7

  • Onekama Public Library – November 7

  •  Parent-Teacher Conference – November 25 at 5-8 pm

  • Parent-Teacher Conference – November 26 at 8-11 am

  • Early Dismissal (12:30) – November 25

  • Thanksgiving break (No School) – November 26-28

Warmly,

Shantel
