Hello Bobcat Families!
We hope you all enjoyed the weekend and we hope you have a great week, here is a look at what's coming up!

We are so excited for this event! Please join us on November 7th from 5:30-6:30. We have some robots and drones from our High School team coming over to show our students! We will have math and science games for students to play and have a chance to win some prizes.

Parent teacher conference with colored pencils
Parent/Teacher Conferences:
This year is going to look different than the past several years. We have decided to tie parent/teacher conferences to report card time in February. More information to follow. This being said, teachers will be reaching out prior to then to discuss where your child is at and if we have any concerns. Please let me know if you have any questions.
 
Little Steps to Sucess
Your neighborhood elementary school is offering a program called “Little Steps to School Success” for you and your three, four, or five--year-old child (who is not yet enrolled in kindergarten). Your child will enjoy a special evening of stories and activities at the school. Each event is a special time for you and your preschooler only. You must accompany your preschooler, so there will be free childcare available for any siblings. These activities will take place in your child’s future kindergarten classroom and are led by teachers and staff from the school. The evening begins with a read-aloud by the kindergarten teacher, and is followed by fun activities to build skills your child will need for entering kindergarten. Your child will meet new friends who will be future classmates, meet his or her future kindergarten teacher, engage in skill-building activities that you can continue to do at home, and have fun. Each family that attends will receive a free book as well as a packet of activities to do together at home to reinforce skills.

Don’t miss out on this positive experience for your preschooler!
