1. Parent Teacher conferences
Please e-mail teachers directly to set up an appointment for a parent teacher conference this week if you have not already done so. If your child is in Beginner’s Latin, you must set up an appointment with Mrs. Martin.

2. Starlighting
Starlighting will be this Saturday, November 19th in downtown Castle Rock. Please send an e-mail to Ed Sun to sign up for a time slot when you can help man our booth. The event starts at 2:30 so we have to be completely set up by that time. It runs until 5:30. Mrs. Bass will be heading up our carolers to sing at the event. She would love to include more students for some “fun” carols so please speak with her this week if you or your student would like to join in!

3. SCRIP Orders – due 11/15/11
Please turn in your SCRIP order to the front office by the end of the day on Tuesday, November 14th. For those of you who are not familiar with this fundraising program, you are purchasing gift cards at face value and we receive a percentage of what you pay through the program. All you have to do is mark down on the order sheet, how many cards of whatever vendors/value you would like and give us a check for the exact amount of your card total. So, if you order a $25 gift card, you give us a check for $25. There is NO additional cost to you. As you can see on the order form, the percentages vary from vendor to vendor so please keep that in mind. In other words, some vendors give us more money back than others. Orders will be placed at the end of the day on Tuesday and will be ready for pick up on Friday, November 18th. At this time, our cards, other than the King Soopers’ cards, are non-reloadable.

If you would like to order a King Soopers card, please write it down in one of the blank spaces at the end of the SCRIP order form. Please include the amount you would like on that card from $10- $500.

4. Thank you!

Jeanette Anderson, Kathy Kinch, Alan Lordi, Stephanie and Chris Hunter, Patricia Tafoya, Marilyn Simpson, Neda Arami, Cara Billings, Mike Senary and Jennifer Muske, Ed Sun, Shannon Sliwinski, Pamela Gaytan, and Theresa Kyte.

5. Girls’ Choir - longer practice
Girls Ensemble Choir will have an extended practice on Friday, November 18th in preparation for caroling at the Starlighting on Saturday. We plan to practice until at least 5:00 but I ask for your flexibility since we have a lot of material to cover and very little time.

6. No Scrapbooking until after Winter Break
Scrapbooking Club will not meet again until after the winter break. Girls Ensemble will have extended practices up until our concert date (only 3 weeks away!).

7. Holiday Concert – 12/9/11

9. Materials for Music Class

2. Authorization For Private Vehicle Use Form

Please find attached our Authorization for Private Vehicle Use Form. Chaperoning parents need to fill out the form and attach a copy of their Driver’s License and Proof of Insurance. We especially need those from parents who are chaperoning on our upcoming three trips.

3. “Peter and the Wolf 11.1.11

Our Peter and the Wolf trip is this Tuesday. Mrs. Bass will be showing Disney’s Peter and the Wolf in class on Monday. Parents, please be informed that it is a little scary, but no worse than any other Disney movie. However, if you have any objections, you may inform Mrs. Bass on Monday morning so she can excuse your student and have them complete some other work outside of class during that time. She will also be reading the story of Peter and the Wolf aloud so they’ll get the general idea of what’s going on even if they don’t get to see the movie. All primaries need to be at the school by 8:30 on Tuesday. We will leave at 8:40 and be back for lunch at Woodlands.

This is a REQUIRED trip for primary students, so please remember to turn in your permission slip and $8 fee/ student to the front office by Monday, October 31. We are still in need of a couple of parent drivers/ chaperones.
