Parent Conferences

Every November we offer conferences to our parents. Our conferences are scheduled during the same days as the Central Kitsap School District conferences. If you have other children in the district, your schedule will be completely mixed up on those days anyway. Our schools will be closed on Friday, November 18 and Monday, November 21 and your conference will be scheduled some time during these 2 days. If you don't already have an appointment, we will set one up for you at the cars or by telephone. Conferences are 20 minutes and are held at the school.  Please make other arrangements for your child(ren) during this time.  

Snow Days
Snow Our snow policy is the same as the Central Kitsap School District. If CKSD closes school for the day, we will also have no school. This enables us to spread the news through radio, TV, and online. If CK schools are delayed by 2 hours, there will be no morning school. If CK schools are delayed by 1 hour, come if and when you can. Please do not take unnecessary risks. If there are more than 4 snow days during this school year, we will make them up in June. Click on the link below to see school reports.
Sign Language

Scholastic Book Orders

Scholastic

Don't forget to check out this month's book order online.  If you have not yet created an account, our school's activation code is H3336.

November's book order is due on   November 9!  It's a little early this month to ensure that holiday gift books arrive to us in time.
We will be extra sneaky this month with the book orders because we know that many of your orders this month may include Christmas gifts!
 
Sincerely,

Feast Day!
Our annual, very festive, feast day will be on the day before Thanksgiving. 

The children will be cooking and preparing food on Tuesday and the feast will be held on Wednesday during the last hour of class time. 

If you would like to help in anyway, either on Tuesday or Wednesday, please let us know. 

Unfortunately, due to the fact that we are so full, we cannot  accommodate  alumni this year. :(  We simply do not have enough space (or chairs!)  If you have a sibling who wants to come he/she may come and watch with you.
Kid Quote
Teacher, "Oh no!  How did you lose that?"

Child, "I don't know.  I'm just a loser."

(Yeah, we debated on sharing this one but it was just too funny to keep to ourselves!)
