Please see the below information about a special dress day for the Fall Party.

Fall Parties Grades 1-8

Trunk or Treat is not being held this year, so PTL is helping to make the Harvest Parties extra special this year. Harvest Parties for grades 1-8 will be held on October 20th.

Students will have the opportunity to write a note and sign a card for a student at Friends of Kids with Cancer
Students will be sent home with a treat bag at the end of the day
Grades 1-8 may dress in costumes or use as a dress down day and wear flannels and/or fall colors
If costumes are worn, the following guidelines need to be followed:
- Nothing scary or evil
- No weapons
- If costume includes a mask it must be taken off during class so their “daily” mask can be worn
- Clothing should be worn under costumes so kids can remove the costume if it becomes uncomfortable or distracting
- School-appropriate shoes are required

**Please use common sense and be sure that all costumes are appropriate for school**

Wednesday- Friday October 21-23 are days off for the students, teachers will have professional development and attend the Missouri Lutheran Teachers Conference online

Thursday October 29 Parent Conferences

School will be dismissed at 12:00 and conferences will be in the afternoon and evening.

Conferences will be held via ZOOM. Please sign up for your conference time. I look forward to meeting with you.

An email went out Friday afternoon, with directions to sign up for the parent conferences on Sycamore.

Friday October 30 is a Fall Break Day OFF

I did assessment on the high frequency words today. If your child has words to practice the list is in the homework folder. Thanks for working on these at home!

Enjoy the nice weather this weekend and make worship a priority for your family.

In HIS Love,

Amy
