The end of the 1st Marking Period is here and so is the start of the holiday season. September and October have flown by and November is a “quick” month with four days off and three half days of school. Please take time to talk to your children about their experiences in school and I encourage you to attend parent teacher conferences and share any positive experiences or concerns you might have. Then take some time with your children and reflect on what you and your family have that make you thankful. Sincerely, Gregory A. Hobaugh Principal Text Box: Dress Warm Students will be going outside for recess as the weather gets colder. Students might be inside for arrival and be outside for recess. Principal and lunchroom supervisors will make daily determinations on inside or outside recess. Students should bring a jacket or sweatshirt to school in case they go outside.
