Thank You
Thank you for your support of our Fall Festival! From sending in candy, to volunteering, to coming out and enjoying the festivities, we are grateful. An extra special thank you is owed to our 8th grade parents who truly made this event possible.
All Saints' Day Mass
Students will be attending Mass today, Friday, November 1st in observance of All Saints' Day and will need to be in Mass uniform.
Winter Uniforms
The transition to winter uniforms will take place today, Friday, November 1st. As of today, students will no longer be allowed to wear shorts (PE included) with their uniform at any time.
Spirit Day/Skate Night
Our November Spirit Day will be next Wednesday, November 6th. On that day, students may wear their school spirit shirt and blue jeans (NO shorts, NO leggings/jeggings, NO capris.) The blue jeans must be free of rips, holes and embellishments. Students may wear tennis shoes. Students are not required to participate. If students do not wear spirit shirts, they must be in their regular uniform. If you need to order a spirit t-shirt, please visit the PaperlessPTO website. More information on ordering a shirt may be found on the School News page of Gradelink.
Skate Night will also be held that night from 5:30-7:30pm at the Round-a-Bout Skate Center located behind the Eutaw Shopping Center on Bragg Blvd. Family and friends are all welcome to attend.
Parent/Teacher Conferences
There will be no school for students on Friday, November 8th as parent/teacher conferences will be held that day. Letters were mailed home to parents to notify them of their conference times. If you did not receive a letter in the mail, please contact the office.
Veterans Day
There will be no school on Monday, November 11th in observance of Veterans Day.
Lunch
If sending in a packed lunch from home, please remember to also send in any utensils your child may need in addition to napkins. The school does not have extra utensils available for students to use. Any utensils that arrive with the My Hot LunchBox deliveries are for those students who have purchased lunch from the vendors.
As a reminder, lunch from fast food and local restaurants is NOT permitted to be dropped off for students during the day.
Positivity Project
Every week you will find the link to the Positivity Project's website for families here: P2 for Families (password: P2) . We invite you to explore the character strength of the week with your child by watching a short video, reading a quote and discussing the three questions online.
Next week our character strength of the week is bravery.
