FALL FESTIVAL RESCHEDULED
Good afternoon,
Due to the widespread impact of extensive illness, we have made the necessary decision to reschedule Fall Festival for Friday, November 11th. It takes a full staff to provide a well-organized festival, and we are currently short staffed.
It is my hope that the two-week delay will give students and staff a chance to recover before the big event!

PARENT & FAMILY ENGAGEMENT TIP OF THE WEEK: Encourage creative problem-solving with your children. Problem-solving is the basis of good mathematical thinking, and the problems don't have to involve numbers. Ask questions like, "How many different ways are there to walk to school?" or "How many different ways can I measure flour to get half a cup?" Try to come up with more than one solution for everyday problems.
