Class parents will arrange for any snacks, and we must always\u00a0be aware of food allergies in the classroom.\u00a0\u00a0Thank you for your cooperation. We look forward to the fun!<\/p>\n
The month of November is a busy one!\u00a0\u00a0Please note that Thursday, November 1st,\u00a0is a HALF-DAY of school for elementary students, with a 12:00 dismissal.\u00a0\u00a0Parent conferences will take place that\u00a0evening at PVES.\u00a0\u00a0There will be no school\u00a0on\u00a0Tuesday, November 6th, which is Election Day.\u00a0\u00a0Schools will also be closed on Thursday,\u00a0November 8th\u00a0for Elementary parent conferences.\u00a0\u00a0Have you signed up for a conference yet?\u00a0\u00a0And, schools are closed again on Monday,\u00a0November 12th,\u00a0in honor of Veteran\u2019s Day.\u00a0\u00a0It is important that you mark your calendars\u00a0carefully, so that any childcare issues are attended to.\u00a0 \u00a0Thanksgiving Break begins on Wednesday,\u00a0November 21st.\u00a0\u00a0Schools will\u00a0reopen on Monday, November 26th.<\/p>\n
