What's Up for the Week of October 24th

We are wrapping up another great week of learning! To all the families we have met at conferences so far, we must say it is a pleasure to be able to talk with you about your child's glows and grows. Remember, conferences are for parents only. Thanks for understanding!

Also, because we begin conferences almost immediately after school lets out, it is important to make sure you pick up your child on time at the end of the day. 
Kiddos should also know what they are to do at the end of each day whether it's taking the bus, going to Discovery Link, Enrichment, or being picked up. If there are any changes, please notify us immediately so we can pass the information on to your child. 


Speaking of time, PLEASE refrain from picking up your child before the bell rings at the end of the day. In Ms. Hernandez's class kids are in the middle of Readers Workshop, Guided Reading and Intervention. In Mrs. B's class kids are in the middle of Science or Number Corner. Many of the kids being picked up early out of convenience are missing out on valuable learning time and the phone calls from the office are a huge disruption to the class. If your child is being picked up early due to an appointment, let us know so we aren't caught off guard when the phone rings in the middle of a lesson. 


Halloween is coming up soon and we are ready to celebrate! The Halloween parade will begin at 2:30 with classroom parties following. Students are to bring their costumes to school and then change into them before the parade. Parent volunteers are welcome to come and help kids change around 2 PM. If you think you can help out, email Ms. Hernandez or Mrs. Bryan-Doherty. Our Halloween Party coordinators will be in touch with families in the next few days. 
NOTE: WCE and DPS are asking that NO students wear clown costumes during the school parade and party because of the latest incidents involving clown costumes. Thanks you!

New Specials rotation begins tomorrow. 
Ms. Hernandez's class will go to Technology and Mrs. B's class will have Art. Remember, PE days are always the same.

Lastly, NO SCHOOL ON OCTOBER 27TH AND 28TH!

Thanks and as always, please email us with any questions or concerns!

Your Child's Teachers,
Ms. Hernandez and Mrs. Bryan-Doherty
