BACK TO SCHOOL NIGHT We had our back to school night last Sept. 15th. Important school policies were discussed and parents also got to meet the teachers of our special classes. Thank you to all the parents that attended.

READING PROGRAM The Pizza Hut Book It Program will begin this month. Ms. Cathy & Ms. Leeza will start handing out the reading logs for the Giraffes & Dinosaurs class. This program will run until March, 2018.   This is part of the weekly homework of each student.  A free personal pizza certificate from Pizza Hut will be given to students who complete the monthly reading goals set for them by their teachers.

PICTURE DAY Picture Day will be on Tuesday, Oct 10^th beginning at 8:00 am. Please make sure your child will not be absent that day.  Highlight Photography will be taking their pictures. We will be sending home the order forms. Please fill out, include payment and return it to Ms. Donna.

FUNDRAISING Our fundraising for this year will be sponsored by Uncle Jerry’s T’s. The fundraising catalogs will be in your child’s homework folder or cubby.  Our fundraising event will run from Oct. 6^th- Oct. 20th.  The class that sells the most will have a pizza or burger party and the top three individual sellers will also get a special prize. 

PARENT TALK   We have asked some of our parents to talk about their jobs to the children in keeping with this month’s theme of “Community Helpers.”  They will be giving us an insight on the jobs of community “heroes.” If you would like to volunteer and talk about your job, please inform any of the teachers.

HALLOWEEN PARADE Our annual Halloween parade will be on Tuesday, Oct. 31 at 9:30 am.  They can come dressed up in their favorite costumes.  Please do not let them wear scary costumes depicting violent characters or bring weapons like spears, guns, or swords.  Please bring them to school already dressed in their costume and bring a Halloween bag.   If you would like to have them change after the parade, please bring their extra clothes in a bag labeled with your child’s name.  We will be visiting the different business establishments in the Mission District area to go trick or treating. Parents are welcome to join us. You may also prepare some goodies for the children, which will be passed out when we return from trick or treating. PLEASE DO NOT INCLUDE CANDIES/ CHOCOLATES THAT CONTAIN NUTS.

PLEASE TAKE NOTE . . . . . .

Scholastic book order forms will be given out every month.  We encourage you to take advantage of this program.

Please trim your child’s fingernails regularly.

School shirts should be worn every Fridays.
