We are Ready!

Report cards are finished, conferences are scheduled, desks are clean! I think we are ready to meet with families next week. We will see you on Monday (with Mrs. Harrington) and on Tuesday (with Ms. Kinsman) for conferences. Have a great weekend!

Notes on November

You may notice that your students are not bringing home Fox Reports this week. Instead we have attached their conference time confirmation sheet. If you think that you will not be able to attend your scheduled conference, please let us know right away. You can reach us by phone (503-844-1140 x5527) or by email (kinsmanl@hsd.k12.or.us or harringk@hsd.k12.or.us).

On Friday, we have early dismissal (school ends at 11:20) to allow time to prepare for conferences on the following Monday and Tuesday. We are looking forward to meeting with families to discuss the first quarter report cards and set goals for the rest of the year. Please make sure your student attends conferences with you.

Finally, the week following conferences, school will only be in session on Monday and Tuesday. Wednesday is a budget reduction day and Thursday and Friday are reserved for Thanksgiving break. Here's a calendar to help you make sense of the rest of the month!

Monday	Tuesday	Wednesday	Thursday	Friday
11 No School – Veterans’ Day	12	13 Lego Robotics club, 6:00, room 230	14	15 Early release, 11:20 Conference prep
18 No School- Parent-teacher conferences	19 No School- Parent-teacher conferences	20 Lego Robotics club, 6:00, room 230	21	22
25	26	27 No School- Budget Reduction Day	28 No School- Thanksgiving	29 No School- Thanksgiving

November Events

Thank you to all the families that helped make our Board Game Bonanza a success. The students enjoyed spending Friday afternoon playing games with their friends and sharing snacks. In fact, we were having so much fun I forgot to take any photos! I did, however, get this great shot of the finished art work from Thursday.

I think this artwork perfectly captures a teacher's mood after two days of fun!

There are two important events coming up in November: report cards and conferences. This Friday, November 8th, students do not have school; it is report card prep day for teachers. We also have no school on the 11th for Veteran's day.

Then, on November 18th and 19th, we will be holding conferences. This is our first time having conferences after the first report card. We feel that it will be an excellent opportunity to discuss your student's progress and objectives for the rest of the school year. We will be sending home conference confirmations on Wednesday or Thursday. If you have any questions or concerns about the conference time, please contact the school and we will work with your family to find a better time.
