Dear PAWS Families,
Reminder – Halloween at PAWS – No Costumes
Each year at Halloween, we respectfully ask that our PAWS students leave their Halloween costumes at home and save them for events outside of school. We understand that for some families the tradition of dressing up at Halloween is a fun and exciting event, but in order for us to honor and respect our youngest learners at PAWS, we know that not all of our students are able to understand or accept the change in the way everyone would look in costume. We always strive to make sure that the learning environment at PAWS is safe for every student, and at Halloween that means that your child DOES NOT wear a costume to school.
We will be celebrating our monthly Spirit Day Color Day on Monday, October 31, 2022 and everyone is invited to wear something ORANGE.
Parent/Teacher Conferences
Parent teacher conferences are an important part of the home and school communication and provide you with a wonderful opportunity to hear about your child’s progress in school. You will receive an invitation from your child’s teacher to sign-up for a conference on one of the following dates: Oct. 26, Nov. 1 & 2. You may come into the school for an in person conference or opt to have your conference via Zoom.
Thank you
Thank you to the Williams family for providing bagels and cream cheese and to the Panagopoulos family for the cookies for the PAWS staff for teacher appreciation last week. Thank you to the Li family for providing snacks this week. The PAWS teachers enjoyed your kindness!
Thank you to Sikha Warnick, Polly Hirsch, Eve Aguilar, Hyo Young Seo, Ariane Misialek and Lexi Hall for volunteering to help during our School Picture Days! Thank you to our former PAWS parent Katherine Hala for serving as our school photographer this year. We are excited to see our school pictures!
Thank you all of our PAWS families, for all you do to partner with the PAWS staff to support your child. Your ongoing positive contributions to the PAWS program, your kind words, notes of thanks, support, care, and kindness are all greatly appreciated!
Wishing you all a wonderful fall weekend!
Best,
‘Becca Z.
