Have a wonderful Thanksgiving break! I hope you enjoy a relaxing week and time spent with the ones you love most. I loved seeing so many of you at our Thanksgiving feast. I have posted some pictures at the bottom of the post. We have lots going on in the coming weeks so please look carefully at all of the announcements below.
Please be sure to turn in the permission slip and waiver for the fire safety village and the nutcracker. We will be sending home additional information next week.
Any student wishing to participate in the talent show needs to turn in their permission form no later than Monday, November 27th. No late forms will be accepted. Also, auditions will be held on Thursday, December 7th after school.
From the attendance committee:
Extra! Extra! Read all about it! Coming to school every day on-time is a key ingredient to student success. The Teasley Attendance Team wants to reward those students who come to school ready to learn and on time every day. Any student who has perfect attendance, (which means no excused or unexcused absences or tardies) through the end of the 2nd 9 weeks, Wednesday, December 20th, will receive recognition for their attendance. These students will receive a free dress down day, a special treat, and a brag tag for their bookbags. Students who have perfect attendance for the entire school year will be invited to a special celebration during the last week of school to praise their commitment to their education. Thank you for your support in getting your student to school every day!
