Today is Day 3.

* We heard through the grapevine that 3rd grade displayed excellent behavior on the trip to see the  Nutcracker.  We can be very proud of our 3rd graders. 

*Interim reports go home on Tuesday.  This may be a good time to call parents with good news.  This may also be a good time to consider IST.

*Our Parent Night is this Thursday.

* We have started our coin collection drive for the families affected by Hurricane Sandy.  There will be containers set up in the building.  They should be available in the gym starting today.  We will update when we get more information.

*The Speas PTA is looking for Volunteers for a few fun Christmas things for staff and students.  If you know anyone, please pass the following information along.  Folks can contact SR if they are interested.

The Speas PTA would like to share with you 3 great opportunities you have to show your support to Speas students and teachers.

Gentle Reminders:

* When planning and executing field trip plans, please keep in mind that it is against policy to require parents to accompany students on trips.  We cannot exclude students from trips for behavior, or inability to pay.

*Leading up to the break, please encourage students to read as much as they can and take AR tests.
