Let’s help cheer on the Detroit Tigers and wear our favorite Tiger clothing.  If you do not have a Tiger shirt, that’s ok, just wear blue and orange to school tomorrow.

Student-Led Conferences:

This year our conferences are being held on November 12^th, 14^th, and 20^th. If you have not already signed up, please call our office to schedule your conference.  Last year we had 98% of our families participate in conferences and this year we are working towards reaching our goal of 100%.

End of the Day Student Changes:

We understand that there will be times you need to make different arrangements for your child as it pertains to after school dismissal.  If possible, please try to let our office know of these changes prior to 3:00 pm (2:00 pm on Thursdays).  Thank you. 

BOO- GRAMS:

Starting next week your child will be able to buy a "BOO-Gram" for $1.00 to send to a friend here at school.  The "BOO- Gram" will come with a Glo stick and the proceeds will benefit our Leader In Me process!  This Friday you will receive a "BOO-Gram" that your child will bring home.  You may choose to send it back filled out with a dollar, to your child's teacher. If you would like more "BOO-Grams"  (you will be sent two), feel free to make copies or pick extras up in the main office. We will be delivering on the 30th!  Sales will end on October 25^th
