Dear Families,

It was wonderful to see so many of you at Curriculum Night on Thursday! We hope you had a great visit to your child’s classroom and got a chance to meet some of our specialists. Parent-teacher conferences are coming up in October, so you’ll be hearing from your teachers about signing up for those if you haven’t already.

Picture Day on Friday went very well despite the weather keeping us indoors this year. A reminder that it is still possible to order and pay for your photos online at www.haywardphotography.com using the school code LES18, as long as you do it before October 3rd.

Also, don’t forget that flu shot forms are due by October 9th for our flu clinic on October 11th.

This week we welcome our kindergartners to their first full days, with Group A having their first full day on Monday and Group B having theirs on Thursday.

Please mark the following dates on your calendars:

* Monday, October 8th:  Columbus Day — no school
* Thursday, October 11th:  Flu Clinic at school
* Saturday, October 27th:  Lincoln-Eliot Fall Festival — time TBD
* Thursday, November 1st:  Early Release day — 12:30 dismissal
* Tuesday, November 6th:  Election Day

The PTO is looking for parents to join the Fall Festival committee and help shape this new event, which is an evolution of our traditional Halloween Dance. Please email Lauren McMinn at laurenpeppers@gmail.com to sign up.

Have a great week, and happy October!

Principal Morrissey
