News and Info for the Week

Here is what is on the newsletter coming home today.

A big THANK YOU to all of the students and parents who participated in the
school fundraiser. I must admit, I do not know much about what was in the
catalog, but I am happy to see that so many of you participated in helping out
our school.

October 15 will be our annual Parent-Teacher Conference day. Usually we
spend the whole week prior to that day setting up the schedule for the
conference. I, however, will be out of town most of that week. (I will finally
get a chance to go down and see Kaleb, my nephew, for the first time!) The
Friday before is a day off for the students, as well. Because of all of that, I
would like to go ahead and begin scheduling our conference times. I will do my
best to honor the time blocks of those of you who submit requests this week. I
am anticipating holding conferences from 7:45 through 4:00ish. Please send in a note
or e-mail me with the time you could best fit into your schedule. Please note
that conferences with reading teachers will need to be set up separately. I will
send a formal letter home next Monday with any times that are remaining.

I know you are probably tired of hearing me talk about the next two
items, but until I see drastic improvement, I must continue to ask for your
help. 1) The students must continue to work on their multiplication facts. I
cannot stress how important that is. 2) Students need to know that they are
expected to demonstrate excellent behavior no matter where they are or whom they
are with. Thanks!
