November Notes

Thank you!
Thank you to the parents who met with us the past two weeks. We enjoyed meeting with you to discuss your child's successes and make plans to assist your child where they need to grow.  As always, your partnership makes for a more successful year for your child. 

Reminder - No School

There will be no school on Tuesday, November 8th for Teacher Inservice Day.

Veteran's Day at SLE

We are excited to honor our veterans on Friday, November 11.  As part of our celebration, we are asking students to bring in 2 pieces of their Halloween candy to send to those currently serving in our armed forces.  Donations can be turned in through Thursday, November 10.

Electronics Policy

We have noticed more and more students with electronic devices at school (iPhones, personal game systems etc).  The school policy is that any electronic device is to remain in the child's backpack during the school day unless specifically told by a teacher to have it out.    We understand that many students have long bus rides and may need them in the event they get home and no one is there.   However, at school, we expect these devices to be put away.   Please note that the lockers at SLE do not lock and are located in the hall out of direct line of sight.   Our advice is to leave these devices at home unless absolutely necessary.  

Book Fair 

SLE Book Fair was a great success this past week.  Thank you to Mrs. Burkholder for organizing such a spectacular event for our students!  If you would still like to make a purchase, the online book fair will run thought November 1st.  You can access the online fair by clicking HERE.

Specials Schedule Rotation
Just a reminder that you can access a list of the color of the day, which determines our specials class, if you click the SPECIALS tab at the top of the page.   Students must have library books on library days, recorders and music binders on music days and in order to participate in gym class are required to wear gym shoes. 

Hello October!

Some items to note this month....

PTO Walk A Thon

The Walk A Thon is this Friday, October 7th.  Donations will be collected this week and students will be walking around their lunchtimes on Friday.  Looks like we will have nice weather, but please remind your child to wear their gym shoes that day!

Parent / Teacher Conferences

Conferences will be held on Thursday, October 20th and Thursday, October 27th from 4-7:30 each night.  If you have not received information about scheduling a conference, please look for it this week.  You will be scheduled a time with your child's language arts teacher.   

Emergency Medical Forms

We still have a large number of families that have not returned their emergency medical forms.  These are very important in the event of a school day emergency or your child becomes ill at school.  If you have received notice that your form is not on file, please fill it our and return it as soon as possible.  Thank you!

Healthy Snacks / No Nuts

So far, students have brought in great healthy snacks to help them fuel through our long mornings.   We are sure that as Halloween approaches, there may be a temptation to bring in candy, but we are going to ask that candy be saved for desserts and special treats.   Again, we remind that for the safety of all students, snacks need to be nut free.  Thank you for your cooperation on this issue.
