Dear Sennett Families:
We'd like to send another friendly reminder that our Parent Teacher Conferences are coming up on
Nov. 10th and 15th. Having this face-to-face time is invaluable and our teachers are eager to share your child's progress and goals with you. A great way to maximize this time is to come prepared with questions! Some of those could include:
--What are some ways I can support reading and math at home?
--What questions can I ask my student at the end of the day?
--How can I help my student with organizational skills?
--What will my student learn in Second Quarter?
--How is my student doing socially in school?
--How can I use technology to help my student?

Upham Woods Fundraiser
Need a little light in your life?
Online only sales are happening now through
November 18. Don't miss out on a great opportunity to not only support the Upham Woods Experience but also do a little holiday shopping. All orders will be shipped directly to you so it couldn't be easier. Spread the word and encourage others to take advantage of the fundraiser too. 40% of all sales will benefit our students!!
We will be hosting another candle sale in the spring where students will be involved with selling candles. Because of the quickly approaching cut-off date for orders, we are only selling online this fall.
Thanks and spread the word!!

Sennett Community Visit Day
Friday, November 11
Sennett staff are excited to get to know the Sennett community and neighborhoods better. During our
November 11th
professional development day, we will spend most of the day on a community scavenger hunt. Staff will be visiting local places to learn about the community in which we work. We'll be documenting this with photos and posting them to Twitter using our #SennettShines & #SennettGo hashtags. If you are out and about in the Sennett community on that day and see us, please say hi or better yet, join us in a photo and share with us one of the reasons you think the Sennett community is so special.
