November is here!

Good morning parents and guardians,

Another month has come and gone. This school year seems to be flying by, but I hope your kiddos are enjoying their Kindergarten year at REACH! I wanted to say THANK YOU to all those families that donated items towards our class activities and also to those that donated their time. If you would like to help out more in the classroom please let me know and we can set up a time and date. I already have one parent who comes in during math and works with children.

The month of November will seem like a short month with no school on two consecutive Wednesdays (11/4 and 11/11), no school on 11/20-21 (parents conferences) and of course having the last week off for Thanksgiving break.
Parent conferences: I will be sending home more information soon about parent conferences. Those parents that return their forms will have priority (towards the time slot they choose).
