Happy Saturday All,
The speech therapists will be doing hearing screenings next week for levels 1 and 3. A paper was sent home with them earlier this week to inform you. If you did not want your child screened, this paper needed to be signed and sent back.
Picture day is Wednesday, October 7. A picture packet was sent home last week if you would like to order pictures. You can send that packet back or order the pictures online.
Parent teacher conferences are the week after next. They will be Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, October 12, 13, and 14. They will be every 20 minutes starting at 1:40 and going till 7 with a break for dinner. The sign-up link is http://www.wejoinin.com/sheets/fwijs, or there is a link you can click on to the right of the blog. If you would like Ms. Marleen present during the conference, you will need to sign up before 4. She will not be able to be there after that. The Thursday and Friday after conferences are Fall Break so we will not have school those days. The book fair will also be open during conferences. On the 13 you will also be able to become a certified driver for field trips from 5:30-7:00. There is a $25 fee to Academica West and a $52.75 processing fee to MMA.
We will be going to Black Island Farms with Ms. Kaley’s class for a field trip on Wednesday, October 21. This will take the place of school that day. We will meet at the farms in Syracuse by 8:45 that morning. We will participate in a hay ride where the kids will all receive a small pumpkin and learn about the crops and harvest that take place at the farms. We will then have time to have lunch and explore the various activities such as the corn maze. Please arrange to have your child picked up between 1 and 1:30 at the farms. It is very important that your child have a sack lunch and a water bottle. We love parents to join us on field trips. If you would like to come, please let me know. You will need to pay for yourself, it will be $4.
The school’s fall festival will be Friday, October 23. I will have more information on that in the coming weeks.
Enjoy the rest of your weekend.
