Principal's Message

Fall Greetings,

I would like to take this time to thank you for all of your support - Not only for the School Community Council elections, but for the Back to School Night and hope you will support the Fun Run.

I would like to mention that we will be holding SEP Conferences on October 17^th and 18^th. I am always encouraged by the great turnout we have during those conference times. Conferences give us a way to “track success”, to celebrate and to plan for your child.

At that time, we will have sign ups for our Parent University. Parent University sessions will be brief (about one half hour), yet provide a wealth of useful material to parents. The teaching team from each grade level will develop a concise picture of literacy and numeracy class work, focusing on the most challenging content taught during that particular nine week period. They may include such things as a PowerPoint presentations and printed handouts or teachers may prepare hands-on activities for students and parents.

XOXO Miss Sundee

SEP Conferences

SEP Conferences are October 17^th from 4-8 pm and October 18^th from 2-8 pm. Online scheduling will be available from October 2^nd – 9^th. Follow instructions on the letter that we send home with your student. If you do not have access to the internet please contact the school and we will schedule a conference appointment for you.

PTA President Message

Happy Fall Ya’ll!

Thank you for the tremendous support we had with the Great American PTA fundraiser!

Items are scheduled to be delivered to the school on November 2^nd and we will get those packaged and sent home with the students as quickly as we can.

During parent teacher conferences, October 17^th and 18^th, the Book Fair will go on in the Auditorium. Before or after your conference, please take a few minutes to browse the books. This is a great chance to touch, feel, and read them in person and get a jump start on some holiday shopping!

Red Ribbon week is October 24 - 28. As part of Red Ribbon Week, we will have the following “School Spirit” Days:

Monday- Dream Big! Wear your pajamas

Tuesday-Join the fight against drugs! Wear Camouflage

Wednesday- Team up against drugs! Wear your favorite “team” shirt

Thursday- Sock it to Drugs- Wear crazy socks

Friday- Pledge to be drug free! Wear RED

The 2^nd Annual Fall Festival will be Friday, October 28^th starting at 6 p.m. with a Costume Parade for parents and family to watch. Again this year, we will have the Pumpkin Decorating contest! Start thinking of creative ways to paint, decorate, and assemble your pumpkin! Please make sure the students, NOT the parents do the majority of the work. Prizes will be awarded the night of the Festival. We will announce more activities the closer the Festival gets.

We are still in the process of contacting volunteers for events- if you haven’t heard from us, you will!

Please call (435)770-9664 or email tiffani.rudd@era.com anytime with questions or concerns. Thanks for all of you, for your kids, and the PTA!
