HW - Wednesday, 11/4

Parents:
  • The November parent conference schedule is posted on the blog and will be updated daily. There are NINE students who have yet to schedule a conference with me. Please do so immediately.
  • District testing (English Language Arts and Math) starts this week and runs until Thanksgiving Break.
  • This coming Friday, the fourth grades will be having a single Science Lab event in the Multi for about 1.5 hours. The students will be dissecting (sanitized) owl pellets and studying what their owl ate. IF YOUR CHILD IS ALLERGIC TO PET HAIR AND/OR DANDER (i.e., dandruff like skin cells), PLEASE LET ME KNOW. These students will be housed in the library during the Lab and will be working on a related activity.
  • Our class t-shirt has been chosen! We will be the LUCKY SNOW LEOPARDS and Joanie's picture was selected as the cover art for the light blue shirt with gold lettering (barring production issues). The company we will be using is Insane Ink, a longstanding class business at Piedmont Hills High School, which is staffed by former Ruskin students. Hallie, the account manager for our school, will be mocking up the t-shirt sample next week. Order forms will be in the Wednesday Folder tomorrow. ALL FORMS ARE IN! The order has been submitted. We must now wait a few weeks for processing and hopefully we will get them before Thanksgiving Break. UPDATE: Insane Ink has informed me that the target delivery period is mid- to late- November.
  • Thank you to the parents who have submitted classroom donations!
  • Please collect all late Walk-A-Thon donations! Help the PTA reach their goal!
