November 7~ 10

** Those of you who have Success Academy kiddos; there will be no academy November 9~18.  We will resume the week of November 28. :)

** On Monday, your kiddo will be bringing home a green field trip permission slip. We will be taking a bus to see The Nutcracker. Because there was a limit on tickets, each class is allowed only two chaperones. The chaperones will need to drive themselves to the theater in San Bernardino. After I collect all of the permission slips, I will then place the names of those who would like to chaperone into a hat and two names will be drawn. I will then notify the two lucky winners. 

**Monday, November 14 is parent teacher conferences. Please be mindful of your conference time. I have a very tight schedule that I need to follow. A Parent Square conference reminder will be sent to you sometime this week.
