Winter Wonderland!

Bacon Elementary has been buzzing with parents and families all week! It's been great to see all of the action in the evening, which in turn makes us thankful for all the wonderful parent support we have. Thank you to those who have taken the time to meet with teachers and support your child!

Although the snow and view is beautiful, are we ready to talk snow gear in October?? Ready or not, it's here so we better! This is a good time just to remind you how important it is to send your child with warm gear. Weather permitting, we do send kids out even if it's a bit chilly. And seeing how Colorado weather changes so quickly its important to send a variety of items for your child to dress in. Boots, hats, gloves, coats, and snowpants (especially for the primary kids) are really important. When they are dressed properly for the weather, it makes recess much more fun for everyone! :)

 Weekly Reminders:

 A reminder about Halloween parade and parties on Monday: The parade starts at 2:45. You can watch your child walk through the parade in the gym or designated hallway areas, or outside if its warm enough. Check with your classroom teacher about when your child can get dressed for the parade as well. Classroom parties will follow the parade. Adults can (and are encouraged!) to wear costumes, but please do not wear a mask of any kind. We need to be able to identify you. :)

There will be a School Accountability Committee (SAC) meeting on Wednesday, November 2nd from 4:00-6:00 pm.  We plan to  work on the Quarter 2 School Accountability Report.

 Did your child miss pictures the first time, or is their hair all mussed-up on the first one?  Picture retakes will be next Thursday, November 3rd.  Smile pretty! J

Have a great weekend!

Safety Week

Student Safety is a top priority here at Bacon Elementary and around the entire Poudre School District.  This week your child has participated or will participate in 4 safety drills that help keep them safe in different situations.  Those drills are fire drill, tornado drill, lockout, and lockdown.  Along with that, they got to take a tour of a real police car!  The building Safety and Security Team will meet soon after these events to process and make changes if necessary.

It's McTeacher Night at the Horsetooth/Timberline McDonald's this Thursday from 4:00-8:00 pm.  Bacon staff members will meet and greet kids during that time!  Come out and support our Bacon PTA that night!

Jeans and Pink day!

The Bacon Staff had an opportunity to support one of our staff members in her Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure fundraiser.  We got to wear jeans and a pink top while making a donation to support breast cancer research.  Check out the great picture!

Specials Calendar

Happy Tuesday, Bacon community!  It's another lovely fall morning here in Fort Collins.  Attached is a link to the Bacon Specials calendar, showing which color day it is today.  Helps when you have to plan for tennis shoes or clothes you don't mind a little paint on. :)

The link also contains information that is specific to each teacher and what special they have in relation to the color of the day.

Have a great day!
