**Daylight Savings
Time ended on Sunday, November 1st. **As the student handbook states, once the clocks change, students are
NO longer able to wear shorts to school.
When the clocks move forward in spring then students can begin wearing
shorts (weather permitting) to school again.) FALL BACK…SPRING FORWARD
Thank you to ALL the classroom helpers who helped with the
Halloween party and parade, and also to all the friends and family who came to
watch the parade. It was a BOO-tiful time for all!
**Just a reminder;
Be sure your child has a jacket, mittens or gloves, and a hat (which can be
kept in cubbies or backpacks) so that when we go outside for our 30 minute
recess the students are prepared for any changes in temperature or for the
lengthy time outside. We try to
get outside whenever possible—if dressed properly, the fresh air does us
good!!! Also, have your child
practice putting on, taking off (pulling sleeves back out), and
zipping/buttoning his/her coat.
