OCTOBER 1-OCTOBER 5

We are now into the month of October. Many things are happening. The ITBS testing will take place Monday through Thursday. Please make sure your child has a good breakfast and gets plenty of rest. If your child is late or absent remember there are no makeups.


On Thursday, October 4th, we will have Mass at 1:15 to celebrate the Feast of St. Francis of Assisi. Following the Mass there will be a blessing of the animals. Please remember that your pet will come with you to the Mass. They are not to be brought to school in the morning.

The month of October is also the Month of the Rosary. We encourage you to say the rosary with your family during this month. We will be praying the rosary on Friday of each week here at school. You are welcome to join us.

Friday is an early dismissal day. We get out at 12:30.

A reminder about the playground: Some of the students are choosing not to follow the rules on the playground with the new equipment. They have been reminded and have been talked to by yard duty supervisors. Please remind your child how important it is to follow the rules in order that everyone is safe. Some children have been warned many times. The next step is a detention. Thanks for your support in this matter.

We have finished the first level in Reading. This week we will be working on contractions, cause and effect, drawing conclusions, vocabulary, short i, and comprehension. In Math we will be moving back into addition facts up to 12. In Science we are learning about the ecosystem and we will be talking about plants.
