October Newsletter

Hard copies of the monthly newsletter are available at the sign-in tables at each school entrance, but for your convenience, you can also DOWNLOAD IT HERE.

It includes these tidbits of info and more:

- NO SCHOOL NEXT MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 30TH

- If you want to schedule a parent/teacher conference or schedule a lunch date with your little one, you can do so by calling Katie to make an appointment: 406-830-3025.

- Sunflower welcomes parents to serve as special guest teachers. Have a special skill you'd like to share with the class? Let Katie or Correy know. 

- Want to volunteer with the Parents' Association? E-mail us and learn how you can become involved. 

- Winter's on its way, so be sure your child has a small backpack on his/her hook with slippers, a winter coat, gloves, a hat and at least one change of clothing (more if your child is still potty training). LABEL EVERYTHING. 

- PLEASE remove your shoes if you venture past the school entryway. It's getting yucky outside, and we don't want to track dirty slush into our learning environment. 

- If you haven't signed up for a Good Food Store scrip account yet, you may do so by printing the last page of the newsletter and submitting it to Katie or Correy. 

- The Sunflower Halloween Carnival is scheduled for Halloween Night (Oct 31st at 6:00pm). If you want to volunteer to help with the party, join the Parents' Association planning meeting next Tuesday the 1st at 5:30pm in the elementary building. 

- Please don't send your child to school in Halloween in his/her costume - save it for the party. 

- A link to the school photos will be distributed to all parents on October 4th. They'll be available to view and purchase online. We'll be scheduling a make-up day in the middle of October to be sure everyone has a chance to have a photo. 

- If your child has a birthday in October, please send a baby picture of your child, along with a picture taken in each year of their life. Mom Crystal Herzog wrote a great blog post earlier this year explaining the Montessori birthday tradition. Check it out. 

Let me know if you have trouble with the link - thanks!
