Greetings, Lake Elkhorn families:
As you see in student agenda books, teachers often assign reading as homework. We all know the benefits of reading, but, for parents, it can be difficult to get adolescents to read for pleasure. Here’s one expert’s opinion on the topic: http://about.uniteforliteracy.com/2016/08/influence-pedaling/.
This weekend is an opportune time to make sure all assignments are up to date in Canvas. The quarter ends Friday, November 4. Remember, there is no school on Monday, October 31. Be safe trick or treating!
The following week is a short week for students because schools are closed again for a professional work day on Monday, followed by Election Day. Then on November 9, our 6th graders leave for North Bay for Outdoor Education. We are looking forward to a great learning experience. The third week of November is American Education Week, when parents are invited to visit classes anytime during the week. Finally, our parent conferences take place
November 21-23. Please remember to sign up between November 9-18. Instructions for reserving conference slots will be coming soon.
Enjoy the nice weather this weekend,
With Eagle PRIDE,
Principal
