Conferences

Thank you to all the families who met with us over the past two weeks. Our conference window was very busy and productive. Your involvement is helpful and very much appreciated!

Yankee Candle Fundraiser

The parents who are running this fundraiser have extended the due date to Monday, November 4th. Please send in all envelopes, order forms, and checks for the new deadline.

Yankee Candle fundraiser for the 8th grade class field trip

Today, students received a Yankee Candle fundraiser packet to benefit the 8th grade field trip fund. There will be a sales "check in" on October 23. The complete packets (with money) are due October 31st.

At this time, we are not sure where we will be heading for our class field trip in June. In previous years, we have taken day trips to Montreal. Much depends on school board approval and funds available.

Thank you to our two parent volunteers who are running this fundraiser, Heather Deslauriers and Kim Lawrence!

Field trip tomorrow!

Field Trip
On Tuesday, October 8th, we will visit the Flynn Theater to hear Congressman John Lewis speak about his book, March. Students should bring a bag lunch, unless they ordered one from the cafeteria. Please remember that all food needs to be nut-free!

50 States Quiz in Powerschool

Please check your child's Powerschool scores. Any student who scored a 1 or a 2 (below 40/50) on the 50 States Geography quiz needs to retake it during an enrichment period or before school. Understanding the names and locations of the states will help students with our study of U.S. History this year.
Thank you,
Ms. Lanfear

*If you are having trouble with your Powerschool account, please call Lorna. (527-7191) She will connect you to SATEC IT to troubleshoot the login.

SBAC Results Sent Home

SBAC results were sent out in the mail today. Having reviewed all student data for ELA and Math, we can say that we are very impressed by the overall growth in the Learning Community! The students worked hard on these tests last spring, and their work paid off. As a group, they made significant gains across the board. We appreciate their efforts. - Mr. Howrigan & Ms. Lanfear

Field Trip on Tuesday, October 8th & Academic Celebration

Field Trip
On Tuesday, October 8th, we will visit the Flynn Theater to hear John Lewis speak about his book, March. Please ask your child about March and what they've learned this week about the Civil Rights Movement.

**We will not be eating at school, so please make sure to pack a lunch, unless you signed up for a school lunch on the permission slip.**  

Academic Celebration
From time to time, we celebrate students who are all caught up in Powerschool. Our next celebration will be on Tuesday afternoon when we return from the Flynn Theater. Students who do not have any 'missing' work in Powerschool will have an extra outside recess. For those students who need support to complete missing assignments, we will have a guided study hall at that time.

In general, if your child needs extra academic support, we encourage you to sign up for the Friday hour of support through www.familyid.com.
