No School

October 1-3!

The teachers will be traveling to St. Louis to participate in inspirational worship, listen to nationally known speakers, engage in relevant educational sectionals, and enjoy fellowship with other Lutheran teachers from across the United States.

Picture Day

Picture day is Wednesday, October 8th. The order form will be sent home sometime this week.

All homerooms, except for Mrs. Rohde, have set up Parent / Teacher Conferences in FACTS. We will get hers set up when they get back from camp!

You should have received an email with instructions for how to sign up. They seem to be pretty clear. The main clarification that you may need is that once you go into your Family Portal, you will need to go to Calendar before you can click on My Classrooms. (If you have multiple children, you will need to select each child to schedule each child's conference.) ALSO - The conferences may only show up on October 8th, but when you click on it the options listed will cover the 8th, 14th, and 16th. Once you sign up for one it will show up on your calendar on the correct day.

If you have any questions, feel free to contact the school office.

Missing forks

We're missing many forks from the school kitchen (so many that we are short for large lunch days and will have to order more for the second time in the past year)! Please take a moment to check your silverware drawer at home for any forks that may have accidentally made their way there. If you find any that do not belong to you, kindly return them to the school office or kitchen.

Also, please remind your child(ren) to make sure the silverware stays at school and doesn't accidentally end up in their lunch bags or the garbage.

Thank you for your help!

FACTS

Below is a link to a short video about how to use the Family Portal. Please note that we will not use all of the features available (for example we chose not to enable lunch ordering from home), but it is a good overview.
