What's coming up

Back to School Night, Wednesday, October 15th.  The Lucky Duck session will be held 
from 6:30-7.  This is a parent only event.  During this evening we will be sharing about our classroom routine and expectations as well as discussing our curriculum.  Although I will have a sign up sheet for conferences for this day, this will not be a time for individual conferences.  If you have any concerns prior to conference day please email, call or speak with me after all the children have been dismissed and I would be happy to meet with you.

We will also be hosting a Book Fair during this week.  More information will follow.
