Looking Ahead

• Halloween is coming up. This day is a half day for kids. Please be sure to communicate with parents that costumes should be appropriate, non-violent , etc.... Those kids who are looking to no be part of the festivities will be afforded some time in the gym. In order to create a win for all, we are changing up the parade route and attempting to do it in a way that meets the needs of all. Admin. team went through that and should be communicating with you shortly. We will share the details of that plan next week.
• Three-way conferences can officially start on October 16th--Monday! Wow. What a great opportunity to put our kids in the driver seat of their own education, and to forge a partnership with parents. Think creatively about how you can infuse the FISH philosophy into the conferences you have.
• The book fair is next week. Morning meeting will still happen the auditorium, but this may require a bit of creativity. 
• Mary and Carol are going to keep doing popcorn--yum! Thanks to the two of them for making our day, and as a result I will be taking down the sign-up on the blog. If you want to help them one week--and help is appreciated--please reach out to them.
