Update School Pictures and Covid– We are not sure when we’re going to get the outcome of the photographer’s Covid test, so the schedule has been changed to reflect a quarantine period.
Updated Picture Schedule – Order forms due back on or before your child’s picture day
Friday, November 6 – Mrs. Corn and Mrs. Theriac
Monday, November 9 – Ms. Sarah and Ms. Lori
Thursday, November 12 – Ms. April and Mr. R
Halloween Costumes – The children are very excited about Halloween. We ask that you save your child’s costume for at home and not have them wear to school.
Lunch Sign-up – November first is this Sunday, please sign up for November’s lunches.
Time Change is this Sunday morning (November 1). The time will fall back 1 hour Sunday morning.
Policy Change: With parents not being able to be in the building to supervise the transfer of items from one household to another (clothes, birthday gifts, etc.), it’s becoming increasingly more difficult to get things transferred from one house to another. In addition, with the onset of the colder weather, the extra bags/packages are not fitting on hooks and coats, extra masks and clothes are ending up on the floor.
Moving forward we would like parents to make arrangements for transfers to happen outside of the school.
Things to look for in November:
School Bookfair – Our School Bookfair starts Wednesday, November 4th and will run through Tuesday, November 17th.

Extra Clothes – If you are sending fall/winter extra clothes to replace your child’s summer clothes, please send an email to your child’s teacher so we know to look for the clothes.
A reminder about ventilated masks – If you are currently sending a mask with an exhalation valve, we need you to switch to a standard 2 or 3-layer mask. Exhalation valves give more protection to the wearer, but less protection for those around the person.
