GENERAL ANNOUNCEMENTS ● Be sure to look at your Infinite Campus prior to conferences. We are no longer printing report cards and with conferences being short, teachers may not have time to show you how to access it. They will be using their time with you to discuss how your student is doing and the partnership between home and school to build a successful young person. ○ Need help with IC? The ladies in the office can help you! ● Conferences are Thursday from 4pm-8pm and Friday from 8am-12pm. Grades 4K-4th have time slots while our older grades 5-7 are drop in. Grade 8 has communicated a sign up with their parents as well. ● If you need more time than that allocated, feel free to set up another time with the teacher.
● Remember that we do not have supervision until 8:25am. If you choose to drop your child off early to play, be aware that there is not an adult on the playground. ● Remember to turn in your Milwaukee Bucks reading challenge Only a few more days to log in reading for the Bucks challenge! The challenge ends Oct 31st! ● LOST and FOUND is overflowing! Please stop at the tables in the atrium. ALL items will be donated on the Monday following conferences. ● The Gifford PTA is collecting gently used or new books for kids of all ages (including high school students) for the local Tex Reynolds Toys For Tots organization. Donation bins will be located in the atrium, the large lunch room, and near the TLC entrance This is a perfect opportunity to clear out all those books your kids have outgrown, and help needy kids have a great holiday season! If you are not familiar with the organization, check out their website! http://www.texreynoldstoysfortots.com/ If you have any questions email Suzanne Gelinskey at
