Week 6: Oct. 2

Details about our upcoming week:

Grandparent's Day 2.0 - This year, we will not be having our normal Grandparent's Day celebration. So our class is reaching out to our grandparents and special friends. On Thursday, there was a note in the planner asking for Grandparent's addresses. We will be writing letters to our grandparents and special friends next week (Oct. 8).

Please record those addresses in your child's planner. More than one address is perfectly fine!

4th Grade Orchestra - On Monday, Kyle Nester came and talked to our students about 4th grade orchestra. A note came home on Friday (Oct. 2) AND Tuesday (Oct. 6). Please read through that letter and email Kyle Nester (knester@hollandchristian.org) if you have any questions.

Parent/Teacher Conferences - You should be receiving an email next week from Holland Christian inviting you to sign up for parent/teacher conferences. I am very much looking forward to chatting with you and celebrating these awesome students of mine! These conferences will be held virtually via zoom on October 19 and 20 in the late afternoon/evening. Many of you are familiar with the sign up process. If you are new to Holland Christian, please follow the instructions to get signed up for a slot. If you have trouble or questions, don't hesitate to ask! One recommendation I have - if you have multiple children at HC, you may want to schedule an empty slot between your conferences. If teachers run behind, it will be tricky to navigate that on zoom - I don't want you thinking I forgot about you (and vice versa) just because the conference before you went over. If you schedule your own children every other time slot, that allows a little bit of grace in case one your children runs over, you won't be late to the next. Thank you!

Report Cards - On Friday, Oct. 16, your child will come home with a report card.
