Parents,

Just a reminder that there is no school on Monday, November 3 because of Teacher Inservice.

Conferences will be on Thursday from 1:00-7:00 pm.  Please return your child's conference form as soon as possible so I have time to make any necessary schedule changes.

Since next week is a three-day week, we will not have a spelling list or test.  We will spend time reviewing previous lists.

Please make sure your child has returned his/her bookbag so I can send home the new November reading calendars.
