Are you looking for a way to get involved with our school?  We are in need of folks to be substitute teachers. If interested, please go to www.EDUStaff.org for more information or to apply. You could also call 877-974-6338 for more information as well. Along those lines, we're also looking for parent volunteers to help with lunch or recesses. Volunteer application here. 

The Parent Teacher Conference sign-up is live. Please sign up for an appointment to meet with your child’s teacher in-person on Monday 11/6 or Thursday 11/9. Virtual conferences are available on Friday, 11/10. Parent Teacher Conferences Link

Halloween festivities will be on Tuesday, October 31st.  Your child's teacher will communicate the plan and need for volunteers for their celebration. Our parade begins at 2:45. Weather permitting we will parade outside around the building. If it's raining, we will invite parents to line the walls of our gymnasium.   Parents may sign out their student after the parade if so desired. 

Below is a list of guidelines regarding costumes. Thank you for your cooperation!
1. Masks are fine, but excessive make-up is discouraged due to the time and assistance needed to apply it
2. Costumes promoting violence, blood, gore, or indecency are not allowed, i.e. Zombie-like costumes
3. Costumes promoting patriotism or what children want to be when they grow up are encouraged
4. Be creative, have fun!

 

As always, if you have any concerns, please do not hesitate to contact me.

Hi DC Families,

Talking to your child(ren) about their school day is a great way to learn about what your child(ren) is doing in school and who they are playing with at recess. By asking open ended questions, you’ll elicit more than a one-word response. Try one of these great conversation starters:

1.  Tell me about the best part of your day.

2.  What was the hardest thing you had to do today?

3.  Who did you play with today? What did you play?

4.  Tell me about what you read in class.

5.  What made you smile today?

 

Enjoy your weekend!

Have a great weekend, DC families!

Teacher Wish Lists
Usually during the Family Shopping Nights, our teachers will select books that they are interested in adding to their classroom library. Over the years, we have had many families purchase a book from a teacher’s pre-selected books, as a gift to them. There will be a table with wish list piles in front of the check-out desk in the library for anyone who is interested in donating a book.
