Week of October 14th-19th

October 15^th-19^th

No school onOctober 17^thdue to Teacher/Parent/ Child conference  

Fall conferences will begin next week. I have many days and many time slots open. If you should not see a day or time that works for you, please message me and we can try to work out another time. I want to meet with each parent so I can share reading levels and testing information, as well as progress in math. The students will come up with an academic goal and a GREAT/GRIT goal. The sign up sheet is on Bloomz. 

ALSO, CAES FUN RUN is up and running. Please consider donating to this worthwhile cause. The majority of the money will come back to the school, especially the teachers to purchase new flexible seating, new classroom rugs, new leveled books, and etc….
