Newsletter - October 11th



Dear Parents & Students,

Today marks the end of first quarter.  Can you believe how quickly these past nine weeks have flown by?  Time really does fly when you’re having fun! 

Conferences are next week and we’ve got everyone signed up!  I’m looking forward to sitting down with you.  Feel free to bring your child with you if you want, as he/she holds the most power in their learning.   I enjoy this conferencing time that allows us to focus on celebrating successes and setting goals for even more!

We are having Traditional Conferences.  At this time, you will receive your child’s grade card. As we only have 15 minutes per conference, our time together will be quick, but efficient.  If more time is needed, I’m more than happy to schedule another time for us to talk. 

Next Friday, we will be celebrating our first quarter success with a Read In! Students are encouraged to wear pajamas and bring a blanket and one stuffed animal to read to.  We’ll spend most of the day cuddled up with our favorite books. 

Finally, this Tuesday (October 15th) is Summit PTA’s Chili & Bingo night from 5:00-7:00.  Grab some dinner and win some prizes, too.  Wendy’s chili, frito pie, chili cheese nachos, and chili dogs are just some of the things that will be served. 

Looking forward to seeing you next week!
Ms. Tammy Myers
