Stomp Out Bullying
We invite everyone to wear BLUE shirts and boots on Monday, October 6th in observance of World Day of Bullying Prevention. We will be discussing that bullying involves a bully, the bullied, and the bystander. Let's stomp out bullying and show RESPECT.
Fall Parent/Teacher Conferences
Please check your email for a message from your child’s teacher that was sent on Friday, September 19th. Included in the message is a link to sign up for a conference with your child’s teacher to discuss beginning of the year assessment results and goals for this school year. We look forward to meeting with you!
When you arrive at OCT for your conference, please be sure you sign in on the Raptor Machine and get a sticker. We are required to have you sign in and get a sticker even after school. Thanks!
Headphones
Please make sure your child has a working set of headphones that they bring to school each day. We use these daily for i-Ready My Path Lessons and various other activities. The headphones need to have a cord that plugs into the iPad. No bluetooth headphones, please!
Weekly Library Schedule
Students will check out a new book from the library weekly as long as they return their old books. Please help your child remember to put library books back in his/her backpack after reading them at home. This will help ensure that your child gets to check out a new book at the library every time!

Mrs. Duncan - Wednesday
Ms. Welch - Friday Thursday
Daily Reading at Home
Students are expected to read daily at home and bring their book bags to school daily. Please also have your child cut out his/her sight words (if you have not done so already). Students should be able to read, spell, and write their sight words, "in a snap."
HMH Into Reading myBook
Students will continue to take home the HMH Into Reading myBooks as we finish reading the stories inside of them in class. Your child can keep these books forever at home or recycle them, if you prefer. Your child does not need to finish any of the activities inside the books at home. Your child DOES NOT have to keep these books inside his/her backpack. These books are for your child to keep at home. Thank you!

We will need volunteers this year for field trips and other opportunities! In order to be a volunteer, you must have attended the Volunteer Orientation and completed the criminal background check. All volunteers are required to reapply EACH YEAR.
