Dear Aquarian,

I've been watching the snow come down all morning at my house. It's perfect snowball snow! Try to getoutside and enjoy it today. I also wanted to remind everyone that our sledding hill and playground are opento students, but please practice social distancing.

We have a few unusual weeks ahead, and I wanted to make sure everyone was aware. This Wednesday,November 11th, students will not have live Zooms. Teachers will be receiving professional development. Thenthe week of November 23rd is going to be a three day week because of the Thanksgiving holiday. There willbe no live Zooms on Thursday the 26th or Friday the 27th. Do to this short week, pickup/ drop off will occuron Wednesday the 25th.

As we are a few weeks into the second quarter, I wanted to remind everyone to please check Q frequently ingrades 1st-6th. You have 24 hour access to your child's teacher's grade book. If you need help retrievingyour password for Q, please call the front office at 742-4900. As always, please don't hesitate to reach out toyour teacher if you have any questions or concerns. I'm also happy to chat over email, phone, or join me onFridays during our morning coffee time from 8:00-9:00. The Zoom information is noted below on page 4.

Families,

This is the time of year when we usually start gearing up for the Spelling

Bee. This year we have no idea what the Bee will actually look like due to

Covid protocols, but I’d like to still get going on it. To that end I will be

holding a Zoom meeting for those students interested in competing

(however that looks) this year. From there, I will get names and they will

be enrolled in a Spelling Bee Canvas class where they will be able to find

word lists, and study tips. Also, I will be able to give out information as I

receive it. The meeting info is below:
