#10 - OCTOBER 13, 2023
Dear Primary School Families,
We would like to express our gratitude to all the families who attended the K4 BBQ and the K5, 1st, and 2nd-grade picnics. This provided an excellent opportunity for families to come together, engage in conversations, and build connections with one another.
This past week has been an incredibly enriching professional learning experience for all CNG faculty. We had the privilege to participate in some outstanding conferences.
We hope you are making the most of the break and taking the time to relax and have some fun.

CNG Halloween Guidelines Parents will be able to decorate classrooms on Friday, October 20th after school.
Halloween is fast approaching, and we are looking forward to fun festivities and creative costumes. We will celebrate on Friday, October 27th (HALF DAY) and students and teachers are welcome to dress up for the day. Parents are welcomed to join our CNG parade. This is the schedule for the day:
Classroom decorations: Our classrooms hold seasonal parties (Halloween, Christmas, and Valentine's Day) to allow children to celebrate certain traditions and to help them understand the cycle of the year. If you are asked to bring treats, please keep amounts reasonable and consider collaborating with others to provide a balance of nutritional snacks and a small amount of sweets. (Be sure to check with the teacher about any food allergies in the class.) Please refrain from sending sodas or other sugary beverages. When asked to help decorate, we ask that parents keep decorations simple and use recycled materials whenever possible. For safety, please do not block doorways or the hallway with decorations. We ask that you think in terms of keeping contributions simple and reasonably priced. Please note: For security reasons, it is not permitted to bring in outside entertainment such as clowns, magicians, dancers or other entertainers for classroom events. If family members have a talent to share during 'I Am Special' week, they are welcome to come and give a brief demonstration. Halloween Costume Guidelines:

Hello PS Families!

Grade 1: Do I Have To

We hope you enjoy these books as a family and reflect on how these characters show responsibility!
Sincerely,
Li, Nico and Vero
