Steamy Activities for Halloween Monday, October 31^st

 At A2 STEAM we choose to celebrate by hosting fun STEAMY activities in the classroom.  We ask that costumes stay home for your evening activities.  Thank you.

Clothing: Fall is upon us, so the weather changes daily. Please make sure that your child is dressed for the changing weather; sweatshirt, sweater, jackets, etc should be worn to school.  We always go outside for recess, even in a light rain.

Building Wide Parent Teacher Conferences will take place Monday . Have you scheduled your conference yet? We want 100% attendance at Fall conferences. MSTEP, NWEA, Benchmark assessments & student goals will be shared at these conferences.

Lost & Found: Please check the bins by the cafeteria for missing clothing. Always label your child’s clothes in case they do misplace them on school grounds. 

Tuesday, November 8^th: School will be closed due to Election Day and Report Card Writing for teachers.   Please mark your calendars. 

Cell phones in school: Another reminder to that all cell phones must remain in students backpacks/ lockers all day until students are dismissed and outside.  Students are taking them out during the day and or keeping them in their pocket which will result in them being taken and a parent will need to pick them up.
