#12 - NOVEMBER 1, 2024
Dear PS Families,
Our Halloween parade and classroom parties were wonderful! The costumes were fantastic, and the kids had a great time celebrating together. We want to remind you that Parent-Teacher Conferences are on Tuesday, Nov. 5th, and that students do not come to school on this day.
Wishing you a fantastic week ahead!

Parent Teacher Conferences
Parent Teacher Conferences (PTC) are scheduled for Tuesday, November 5th. There´s no school for students on this day. You can use Skyward to set up your conference. Here are the instructions to sign up. Please note that this time, which is the end of quarter one, parents will not receive a report card. The purpose of these conferences is to discuss your child’s progress during this first quarter. Specialists and Spanish teachers will be available in the MPR. Homeroom and SNL teachers will be in their classrooms.
Regarding transportation, a shuttle service will be arranged to bring parents from the VIP Parking Lot on Cra 5, beginning at 6:45 AM and continuing until 2:30 PM.
Thanksgiving Baskets for CNG Workers
As you may know, NHS collects products that students bring to the School for the baskets we will give CNG workers as appreciation tokens during Thanksgiving. This year, they will collect the products from 7:15 am to 8:00 am to avoid class interruptions for Primary students and NHS members. The idea is that primary students leave their products in the boxes that will be placed outside their classrooms so that NHS members can pick them up without interruptions. The collection will start on November 5th and end on November 22nd. Thank you!

Hello PS Families,
Welcome to a new month of our Counseling Corner cycle. This month we will be practicing and learning about GRATITUDE. Feel free to share with us how you as a family practice GRATITUDE throughout the month. You can send pictures, videos and stories of you carrying out this month’s PurposeFull Pursuits as a family. You can also send us other ways of how you showed this value. Please send these to laura.olaya@cng.edu. These will be published in the CCN at the end of the month to show pride for our Character Strong students! Hooray!
Sincerely,
Li, Lau, Juli and Vero
