Hello, Families!

We have had a few weeks that feel like a whirlwind of events! From the Chili Supper, to Homecoming, to conferences and then our Halloween parties and parades...there's been one fun filled event after another! The upcoming quarter will be equally packed with fun events, so I have tried to list as many of those events as possible below.

 

There is one change from our printed district calendar...the 3rd-4th-5th grade music concert night will be on 12/18 NOT 12/12 as printed on the calendar. This concert will be here at PRES and each grade level will have their own 30 minute time slot so that they can showcase more some of the individual skills they are working on with singing, instruments and movement with music. We will send out more detailed information, but wanted you to know so that you can mark your calendars now for 12/18!

 

The book fair is open this week at PRES. Students can shop the book fair several ways.

1.) Bring money in and shop during the day

2.) Shop using money from the eWallet (follow link below for instructions) https://bookfairs.scholastic.com/bf/pleasantridgeelemschool3

3.) Famillies can shop any time during conference day between the hours of 8am-8pm

 

Your child will have a chance to preview the book fair this week and create a wish list of books they would love to read so you can see what they are interested in!

 

We hope to see you at conferences on Thursday. If you haven't already, be sure to set up an appointment with your child(ren)'s teacher by using the sign up genius she sent out.

 

Check out the information in the newsletter and if you have any questions don't hesitate to ask!

We are looking forward to another fun filled week at school together!

 

As always let me know if you have any questions or concerns, any time!
