One of the things we have missed the most with our COVID restrictions is the presence of our parents in the school building - eating lunch with your kids, volunteering, or visiting for parties or student of the week celebrations. Your PTO has been hard at work brainstorming a number of ways that parents can continue to be involved, socialize and earn PTO volunteer hours. Stay tuned to the newsletter for some exciting new social events they are planning!
Parents, we will also be continuing our "Coffee with Mr. Cruess" that we've had in past years, but this year it will take place as a "Zoom Lunchroom". This Wednesday October 7th from 12-12:30pm will be for our 6th grade parents (only). The transition from 5th to 6th grade is a big one, and I want to make sure everyone is navigating the transition successfully. If you are a 6th grade parent, we encourage your participation. This is a great forum for asking questions, sharing feedback and learning strategies for supporting your 6th grader. The Zoom link for the 6th Grade lunchroom for parents is HERE.
The following week, I'll host a virtual lunch with our 7th and 8th grade parents and invite Mrs. Cisik and Mrs. Autry to share some information about getting ready for high school and the high school application process. We'll send out that Zoom link next week. I hope to see you there!

A Birthday Reminder for Parents... |
|
Birthdays are so special and its even more special when your child gets to celebrate with treats for classmates. So if your child has an upcoming birthday and you would like to send in treats for the class, please remember that they must be individually portioned and individually packaged by the food manufacturer. Our teachers are not allowed to pass out a tray of cupcakes, cookies or dougnuts. The last thing we would want to do is disappoint the birthday boy or girl by sending things back home, so please help us by sending in things like: ice cream novelties, pudding cups, Little Debbie snacks, candy bars, etc. Just be sure to check with your classroom teacher to see if there are any food allergies first. Thanks so much for doing your part to keep our Comets healthy, while keeping up our much-loved traditions!

Taking Care of our Comet Family |

Please remember that we are one community that is supportive and respectful. As in any year, from time to time teachers and students may be out of school. Please respect privacy and don't jump to conclusions.Whenever a member of the school community has a confirmed case of COVID-19, we will work with the Diocese and the Health Department to make sure close contacts are notified so they may take appropriate action inline with CDC guidance.

Yay Lunch! Order weekly by Saturday night! |

Hard to believe that it is October already and the time is flying by this year. All are doing a great job with the masks and hand hygiene! With the holidays approaching, it is always good to have safety information available. Here is a great resource to print off regarding poisons and keep close at hand if needed.
Keeping our Comet Family healthy and safe!
