Dear Parent or Guardian: On Thursday, November 10, 2011, starting at 4:00 p.m., our school will be conducting individu-al Parent–Teacher Conferences. You are a vital partner in the education of your child, and these conferences play an important role in helping us plan and implement programs that meet the expectations you have for your child’s education. A sign-up sheet is being sent home with your child, indicating a time on November 10th that teachers would like to see you. If it is unsatisfactory for you, please call to reschedule. Confer-ences usually last 10 to 15 minutes each. We must adhere strictly to our schedule so as to avoid delaying others. We will do everything we can to make sure that every parent or guardian is accommodated. Thank you for your cooperation and we look forward to seeing you!

This year was the 18th annual “Pumpkin Walk”. It began

“way back when” with Mrs. Camlin, and was originally held on the boardwalk. However, uncooperative weather changed the festivity to inside. Every year each homeroom carves or designs a pumpkin and the people in attendance vote for their favorite pumpkin. All the donations go towards the SCA fund which benefits the school for classroom sup-plies, student supplies, etc. And, once again, the pumpkin designs were marvelous, and it raised $160.00 for the school!

This year’s winner was Mr. Davis’ class, and they will

receive an ice cream party.

4th grade students have been learning about the four types of sentences: declarative (statement), in-terrogative (question), imperative (command), and exclamatory (strong emotion). Students created posters by choosing a magazine photograph and writing four different types of sen-tences about it. Special recognition to Kennedy Muse for her creative and well-organized poster pro-ject! Can you guess what type of sentences these are? •My dress is all wet! •Why is she in the water with a dress? •I like to swim. •Get out of the water.

If your newsletter is folded and

mailed, this story will appear on the

back. So, it’s a good idea to make it

easy to read at a glance.

A question and answer session is a

good way to quickly capture the at-

tention of readers. You can either

compile questions that you’ve re-

ceived since the last edition or you

can summarize some generic ques-

tions that are frequently asked about

your organization.

A listing of names and titles of manag-

to give your newsletter a personal

touch. If your organization is small,

you may want to list the names of all

employees.

If you have any prices of standard

products or services, you can include

charity auction.

If space is available, this is a good

place to insert a clip art image or

paragraph about your organization. It might

tion offers, the geographic area covered (for

example, western U.S. or European markets),

and a profile of the types of customers or

members served.

It would also be useful to include a contact

name for readers who want more information
