PARENT/TEACHER CONFERENCES
Thank you parents for your flexibility this year with fall conferences. Many of you may have already met virtually with your child's teacher, while some may be conferencing next week. We appreciate your understanding and willingness to adapt this school year.
Please be reminded that there will be no school for students on Thursday, October 29 for parent/teacher conferences. Friday, October 30 is a 'Free Day' for all. Monday, November 2 is a 'Staff Development Day' for teachers.

MORNING DROP OFF AND AFTERNOON DISMISSAL
Parents, please continue to follow the arrival and dismissal procedures outlined here for this school year due to COVID. We are blessed to have so many entry/exit doors available to keep our students spread out during arrival and dismissal time. As the weather gets colder, the staff at the entry doors will try their best to open doors right before 8:00 am to allow parents to beat the morning rush and also minimize the amount of time students stand outside. Please send your child with a coat, hat, and gloves as most grade levels go outside for recess. |

SCHOOL FUNDRAISER
The date has finally arrived - our annual school Fundraiser, 20/20 Vision: Focus on What Matters, is this Saturday, October 24 at 7:00 pm. The event is virtual this year, and those who sent in a RSVP have been sent an email regarding how to access the live stream event. The live event will feature the live auction and the GIVE, where donations will be directed to the SPSL operating budget and keeping everyone safe at school during the pandemic. In addition, you will hear from our students, parents, alumni, and staff about why they love SPSL. Don't forget, the winners of the Tuition Raffle and Panther Raffles will be announced too! If you have any questions, please email michaela.smith@spsl.net.
Thank you to all those who were bidding and buying on Qtego this week! If you won a Silent Auction item, Classroom Basket, or participated in the Wine Pull, please pick up your winnings on Saturday, October 24 between 2:00-4:00 pm at SPSL. The drive through pick up event will run like the supply pick up last spring. Please go the north side of the school off Blondo. Volunteers will bring your items out to your car.
If you win a Priceless Experience, you will be notified within a week of the fundraiser. If you bought a spot at a Sign Up Party, hosts will notify you closer to the party date.
