Week of October 28th

First Grade Families,
We appreciate the time and effort you have put forth to help make our Read-A-Thon a success. This even culminates this Thursday with our Literary Character Dress up Day. If you have any questions regarding this please reach out to your child's teacher. 
 
The Winter Concert is coming up!  Here is the information everyone should know:
1.  The concert is MANDATORY – if a student cannot come for an unavoidable reason, their family must inform me TWO WEEKS IN ADVANCE (October 29th) so they can be given a substitute assignment.  If a student is sick the day of the concert, the family must send a message that day informing me.  If a student does not attend the concert and no explanation is given, they receive a failing grade for the concert.
2.  DRESS CODE: Students must wear black on bottom, white on top.  Black shoes, black pants (black skirt option for girls), black socks/tights, white shirt, and a tie for boys (bowtie is fine). Tie optional for K-2. Color/pattern of your choice. No pop culture.
3.  Times and Location (please note student call times): Tuesday, November 12th, 2019
