Important Events and Updates...

Homework
Hopefully, you've had a chance to look at the homework that was sent home on Friday. Please know that the expectation is that ONE activity (in addition to reading with/to your child for 10mins) will be completed ONLY on school days (Fri, Mon-Thurs). Weekends are for you and your family to spend time together. Now, if you know your kiddo has t-ball practice on Thursday night and you want to complete an activity over the weekend, so your child doesn't have to do homework AND t-ball practice on Thursday night, that is completely up to you. I just want my kindergarten families to know that I respect the weekend for family time.

Fall Festival and Class Basket
One of our most exciting PTA events is coming up soon.....The 'Fall Festival' is Friday, September 27th. In addition to jump houses, games, food, and face painting, each class will be auctioning off themed baskets. 
Each class donates items that contribute to the theme, which will then be turned into a basket. Our theme is "Baby Love". Some items to donate might include a onsie, bibs, rattles, a lovey, blankie, a cute picture frame, etc...anything baby. The cuter, the better! The baskets from each class will be available to bid on during the Fall Festival, with all proceeds going to our school:-)

Field Trip 
Thank you to everyone who has returned the field trip form and money for Naylor Farms. October is a perfect time of year to visit a farm. The owner even said the kiddos might be there in time to see a newborn calf (can we all say a collective...aaawwww!). Please remember that if you would like to chaperone, please make sure you have registered at school online (it can only be completed through our school intranet) ASAP. The volunteer clearance process has taken a bit longer since traditional schools have started, and I would not want you to miss going if you have your heart set on it.

Spirit Week
Spirit Week is next week which means there will be some fun dress up days!
Monday 9/15 Neon Day
Tuesday 9/16 Sports Day (wear your favorite sports team jersey/shirt)
Wednesday 9/17 80's Day
Thursday 9/18 Career Day (dress like what you want to be when you grow up)
Friday 9/19 Spirit Day (wear the Banks Road colors)

Conferences
I will be holding quarter 1 conferences  in the middle of October. I will be sending out a link where you can sign up for conference times/dates.
