All,

Due to the forecast calling for heavy rain tomorrow, field day will be postponed until next Friday. Unfortunately, at this time, it looks like it may rain next week as well. If it rains heavily starting on Wednesday of next week, we will once again postpone field day until May. We want to thank you all so much for your understanding – fingers crossed we have a sunny week next week!

Change

I hope that you enjoyed looking at the pumpkins last week.  The students had a blast making them and voting on them.
I wanted to let you know that we will be shifting our schedule around a little bit beginning in November.  Please read the details below.  I hope you have a great weekend.

Dear Christie Families, 

We want to thank you for your flexibility as we moved to a blocked specials schedule for the first part of the school year. The instructional planning time gained by teachers during the blocked schedule was used to plan ahead and review the larger picture of the school year. As the first nine weeks has come to an end, we are excited to share that beginning November 1st, we will be returning to the traditional schedule where specials takes place each day. 

As always, thank you for your continued support!
