November 2008
Dear Parents,
The days are getting shorter and the nights are getting longer. Fall is
making its way towards winter. Even though the weather is changing, we seem
to keep busy. Listed below are some important events that happened and some
that will be happening.
In October . . .
- we had a very success PTA Book Fair. A great deal of thanks goes out to Ida
Pontillo and all the PTA volunteers for putting together an outstanding Book
Fair.
- our Red Ribbon Week which is centered on “Saying No to Drugs” was also a
success.
Coming this November . . .
- Tuesday, November 4, 2008: No School- Superintendent’s Conference Day
- Tuesday, November 11, 2008: No School- Veteran’s Day
- November 12th, 13th, and 14th: Grade 5 New York State Social Studies
Assessment
- Tuesday, November 18, 2008: PTA meeting, 7:00 p.m.
- November 19th, 20th, and 21st: Parent Teacher Conferences Scheduled- No PM
Kindergarten
- November 26th, 27th and 28th: School Closed for the Thanksgiving Holiday
As you can see November is an interesting month. It is probably one of the
shortest academic months of the school year. Even though it is short, the
Parent Teacher Conference experience is so important. It is a great
opportunity for teachers and parents to talk about each child’s academic
program. These conferences can have such a positive impact when it comes to
setting the stage for the remainder of the 2008-09 school year.
The Thanksgiving Holiday is during the month of November. It is a time to
give thanks for what we have in our lives. Upon reflection, I am extremely
thankful to be a part of such a wonderful learning community as Fishkill
Elementary School.
