Message from the Principal:
Pataskala families,

As we just completed the 1st quarter, it is now an important time for you to come in for Parent Teacher Conferences to discuss your child's progress. Teachers are working hard to prepare for ALL parents to attend these conferences, so please reach out to your child's teacher if you have not scheduled a conference. Conferences are on November 8th, 9th and 13th. The BOOK FAIR will be open throughout these conference days/nights!

On Monday, we started our annual " Pennies for Patients " campaign. Your child can collect loose change at home, which will be sent to the support the mission of the LLS: to cure leukemia, lymphoma, Hodgkin's disease and myeloma, and improve the quality of life of patients and their families. 

We are also kicking off our Right to Read Week on next Friday, November 9th. Look for your child to bring home a free book, The Chocolate Touch . We encourage you to read this book at home with your child. A schedule and at-home activities will be included in a bag with the book.

There are other activities and events listed below. Please feel free to reach out if you have any questions or concerns (or even want to share any highlights :)
