Pumpkin Book Project
Student Council is sponsoring the Pumpkin Book Project. Students in all grade levels are encouraged to decorate a pumpkin as a literary character (a character from a children’s book or age-appropriate novel). Pumpkins are due by Tuesday, October 30th unless the student’s teacher has set an earlier date. Student Council will vote on one winner per grade level. A small prize will be awarded to the winners on Halloween. We look forward to seeing lots of pumpkin characters!

VISION AND HEARING SCREENINGS
Screenings have been scheduled for Monday, October 29, 2018. If your student is included in the mandated program, you received a notice in last week’s Friday Folder.
State mandates that all NEW AND TRANSFER students have a vision & hearing screening, unless said student provides a report indicating that an examination has been administered within the previous 12 months.
“Vision screening is not a substitute for a complete eye and vision evaluation by an eye doctor. Your child is not required to undergo this vision screening if an optometrist or ophthalmologist has completed and signed a report indicating that an examination has been administered within the previous 12 months and that evaluation is on file at the school.”
Kindergarten: Every student Hearing & Vision, First Grade: Every student Hearing only
Second Grade: Every student Hearing & Vision, Third Grade: Every student Hearing only
Eighth Grade: Every student Vision only
