Thanks to all the parents who participated in conferences yesterday evening. We look forward to our next night of conferences on November 10th. Here is this week’s news for MIS:
- Daylight Saving Time – Please remember to set your clocks back one hour prior to going to bed on Saturday evening.
- Student Drop-off: We request that you not drop your children off prior to 7:40am. There is no assigned adult supervision to watch your children until this time.
- Intermediate Swim Night will be held Friday, November 11th– the deadline for this has been extended to Wednesday, November 9th. This event will be held at Greenfield Central HS. If you plan to pay by check, please make them out to GCHS.
- Heelies – Evidently, these shoes are coming back into style. These shoes should NOT be worn to school for any reason. With the building having both stairs and tile floors, it is not safe for them to be worn here. Thanks, in advance, for your help with this.
- Toys for Tots – A donation box is available in the office for anyone who would like to contribute. This will be here through December 9th.
- YMCA FREE DAY in November: If your child would like to try-out one of the YMCA programs, they can attend for a day free of charge. If you are interested, please call 577-2070 for more information.
