come to see the children parade.

Your child should NOT wear his/her costume to school! Please send the costume to school in
a bag with your child’s name on the outside. Students will get dressed in costumes with the help of
teachers and homeroom helpers.
Keep in mind students will be dressing at school, so keep the costumes
as simple as possible; (No spraying hair at school, or a face full of make-up
at school). **With trick-or-treat approaching, we ask that students do not bring
candy for snacks at school and limit extra candy in lunch boxes too. Thanks for your cooperation!
**Scholastic
book orders for November are due by Wednesday, November 7th. Orders can be placed online at
scholastic.com or can be sent to school with your child.
**Due
to a shortage of spare clothing in the nurse’s office, we are accepting any slightly used or outgrown shirts, pants,
socks, sneakers and/or shoes for use when “accidents” occur at school. These items would be used to change
students into clean, dry clothes when an accident occurs and the child does not
have a spare change of clothes of his/her own at school. The nurse’s supply of clothing is low,
especially for the smaller sizes for Kindergarten age children. Donations
would be greatly appreciated.
**Also, if any child has borrowed a change of clothes from the nurse,
then please return it cleaned and ready for use in the nurse’s office
again. Thank you in advance!!
**Report cards will be distributed on Friday,
November 2nd.
Please be sure to check your child’s folder next Friday!!
**Parent/teacher conferences will be held
on Tuesday, November 6th for grades K-3. More information was enclosed in your child’s
folder. If you have any questions
or concerns, please contact Mrs. Potts: apotts@northschuylkill.net or 874-3661, Ext. 3245.
**Monday, October 29th
will be Day 3—Computer class. **Students will need library books for
exchange on Tuesday, October 30th & gym attire and sneakers on Friday,
November 2nd.
Happy
Birthday to Makenzi Rooney! She
