Whew, our testing has come to a close. Parent Teacher conferences will be held October 25th through 28th. I will send home a sign up sheet shortly for you to request three choices on the time that best suits your family's needs. I would love to have 100% on meeting with the parents of my Rocking Second Graders. I can meet before, during and after school to meet your time frame. We will discuss the results of the testing and your child's progress to date thus far. Thanks!

October is fire safety month. Please discuss with your child two ways to get out of the house if the house is on fire, decide on a meeting place that is away from the fire, discuss the reasons and why you call 911 and last but certainly not least, check the batteries in your smoke alarm. I know these are simply things that your child already knows about....lets be extra safe and talk about them again. Opening up the discussion reiterates the importance and making correct choices to stay safe.

Our second graders will have their hearing and vision tested here at school on Wednesday, October 20th. Our nurse is requesting volunteers for the week of October 18th to assist her with this task. Please call her at 720.685.3297 as soon as possible to sign up. Even a couple of hours would greatly help out. Thank you again for all your help.

Our Harvest Hop is in the evening of October 15th. Our class needs volunteers to work this spectacular event. There is also a contest on which class donates the most candy to be handed out that evening. If you are unable to volunteer for the evening, how about helping the cause and donating candy. Our students will have a safe environment to go around the school and recieve candy that was donated by you! Thank you in advanced. :)

Again, I would love to watch your child demonstrate their talents outside of the classroom. If they play a sport or participate in an activity, please send me their schedule and I will make every attempt to come watch them shine outside our classroom.

In closing, if you should have any questions, concerns or positive comments, please feel free to email or call me at school or at home. My home number is 303.498.0740.
