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!
