REMINDERS:
Harvest Festival
Our Annual Harvest Festival is coming up on Saturday, October 20th.  It's always a lot of fun!  Please see THIS FLYER for more information.  Also, it's not too late to take part in our CALENDAR RAFFLE.  For a description of how the calendar works, please click HERE.  The grand prize ($500) will be drawn the day of the Harvest Festival (you don't have to be present to win), but the raffle will continue each week day through Friday, October 5th.

Tripod Survey
Teachers will be administering the fall edition of the Tripod Survey in October.  For more information, please read THIS LETTER.

Morning Drop Off
Just a reminder that cars are never to pass buses when their red lights are flashing and the stop sign is out.  There’s a sign in the back circle indicating that there’s no passing allowed (because students are exiting cars), so there shouldn’t be any passing going on—buses or cars.  I’m hearing that some parents are honking at others to pass during morning drop off in the back circle.  Also, please be kind, patient and respectful of one another.  Thank you!

Class Pictures
This year, Geskus is doing class pictures a little differently.  Students will receive a composite picture of their class after retakes are complete.  However, in the spring, Geskus will be back to take a class picture, and families will be able to purchase a 5x7 or 8x10 print.  20% of the purchases will come back to the school.  They will be scheduled for late winter.  A specific date and order information will be available closer to the date.
