Dear Parents,
We hope you are enjoying this cooler
weather as we head into our last three weeks before the winter break. Classes
will soon get into the holiday spirit with upcoming winter performances and
other class celebrations. Look for more information from your class
parent.

Missoula
Children’s Theatre Video Recording
For those
parents who were unable to make the Missoula Children’s Theatre performance of
Treasure Island, we are so happy to share this YouTube video with you and your
families. Enjoy!
Early
Release Pick up
A reminder
to parents that on several Wednesdays every year we have early release. School
finishes at 2:00 p.m. The next early release will be on Wednesday 12 December.
This means we will close the playgrounds and football fields at this time too.
We ask all children and parents leave campus promptly so that faculty can begin
their professional learning to enhance teaching and learning.
Student Protection Curriculum
As part
of our annual school counseling program, we school counselors wanted to let you
know that we would be delivering lessons pertaining to personal safety. These
lessons are designed to help our students recognize and understand what our
bodies perceive as a threat. Our hope is that through our lessons, students
become better prepared to respond to unsafe situations. We thank you for your
continued support of our elementary school counseling program. If you have
questions or concerns, please reach out to your child’s grade level counselor,
either Ms. Linda Gerberich or Ms. Vanessa Kim. Detailed information shared here.
