Note to Parents

Welcome back from the long weekend! We hope it was a good time for all!

It’s a full week of school, the kids have a homework packet and Spelling work again this week. It is all due on Friday.

We are having our November Birthday Celebration on Friday. The students can bring board games from home to play with friends at school. We will be playing games from 10:15-11:15. All work needs to be caught up to participate. Check with your child about any late work they need to turn in.

Our class schedules will be changing a bit starting next week: Mrs. Tennison’s class will have the early ART time 7:40-8:30 T/TH, Mrs. Pratt will have the same times but will have Technology instead of ART on T/TH. Mrs. Hausman’s class will continue with ART but at a new time, 9:20-10:10 T/TH.

SPPS is offering this free event: 

"The Right to Read" shares the stories of an activist, a teacher, and two American families who fight to provide our youngest generation with the most foundational indicator of life-long success: the ability to read. Executive produced by host of PBS’ "Reading Rainbow" LaVar Burton, the film follows the story of the literacy crisis in America and what we can do about it. 

Each event will begin at 5:30 p.m. with a free dinner served in the school’s cafeteria. The documentary will be shown in the school’s auditorium starting at 6:15 p.m. While children are encouraged to watch the documentary, childcare will be available in the cafeteria during the film.
