Our Pumpkin Patch of Readers is growing! Since October 3rd, students have been diving into nightly reading, and the challenge runs through Friday, November 7th. We’re tracking progress by class and grade level—let’s see which patch grows the biggest!
Reading builds vocabulary, improves focus, and expands imagination. When families and schools work together to encourage reading, our students thrive both academically and personally. Keep reading and watch our pumpkin patch bloom!

Along the way, students collected leaves to bring their learning about seasonal changes to life!

Wondering what your child will be learning this year? Curious about how you can support them as learners? Join us at Curriculum Night tomorrow, September 18th to get all the answers!
Parents and guardians (no students, please) are invited to learn about important curriculum topics, grade-level expectations, and the programs and materials used across subjects. Teachers will share timelines for skills and topics covered throughout the school year.
Please remember that this is not a time for a conference or private conversation about your child. If you feel you need to meet, please contact the teacher to set up a time.
To better accommodate families’ schedules and allow parents to visit multiple classrooms, each teacher will present the same info during two sessions—you only need to attend one!
Specialists are joining us too!
Mrs. Pelissier (speech), Ms. Moffat (school adjustment counselor) and Ms. Bennett (school psychologist) will be available in the Gym alongside Music, Gym, Health & Wellness, and STEM specialists. Find Mr. Otto, Mr. Corriea, Ms. Sullivan, and Ms. Winter in the Gym, and Mrs. Tomas in the Art room.
Important details:
• Parking is very limited—plan ahead! Street parking along Steppingstone Drive is likely.
• Presentations start promptly at 5:15 PM and 6:15 PM.
Schedule:
5:00 PM – Doors Open
5:15–5:45 PM – Grade 1, 2 & 3 Session 1
6:15–6:45 PM – Grade 1, 2 & 3 Session 2 (same info as Session 1)
We look forward to seeing you there and partnering together for a great school year!
