Dear Parents,
Our Parent-Teacher Zoom Conferences begin today! Teachers will be sharing each student’s Progress Report for Trimester 1 and parents can learn about their children’s progress and ask teachers questions. Conferences are an important part of the school-home partnership, which helps to support students’ academic, social, emotional, and spiritual growth and learning.
During this time of Parent-Teacher Conferences, let us offer this prayer together:
Dear God,
Thank you for the gift of our children. Help us to set boundaries for them, and yet encourage them to explore. Give us the strength and courage to treat each day as a fresh start. May our children come to know you, the one true God, and Jesus Christ, whom you have sent. May your Holy Spirit help them to grow in faith, hope, and love, so they may know peace, truth, and goodness. May their ears hear your voice. May their eyes see your presence in all things. May their lips proclaim your word. May their hearts be your dwelling place. May their hands do works of charity. May their feet walk in the way of Jesus Christ, your Son and our Lord. AMEN.

We appreciate your partnership, parents!

Students are welcome to come to school in an age-appropriate Halloween costume on Friday, October 28. However, please do not bring any costume parts or props that resemble any type of weapon. Thank you for your cooperation on this matter.
Students may bring individually-wrapped treats to share with their classmates for the Halloween celebration. Teachers will notify families about the number of students in each class so that all students in the class are included if a treat is distributed.
We are also selling TICKETS, which may be used to play games and purchase snacks at the snack booth. Ticket order forms were sent home; please turn in your ticket order and CASH payment by the Wednesday, October 26 due date.
