Thursday, October 3, 2019 Dear Parents, One of my favorite times of the year is fast approaching! Conferences will be held Wednesday, October 23 from 1:00-6:00 p.m. and Thursday, October 24 from 7:00 a.m.-8:30 a.m. and from 1:00 p.m.-4:00 p.m. Students will be released at 12:30 p.m. on October 23 and 24 and there is no school on Friday, October 25. Parents now have the ability to schedule conference times online. The Conference Scheduler is available starting Monday, October 7. Scheduling early offers you the opportunity to secure conference times that work best for your family. Please visit the online scheduler on the district website. You will need to go to mix and find my name to find my schedule. If you are not able to use the online system, please call or email. I look forward to meeting with you all and celebrating your child's progress. Our first field trip of the year is on Wednesday, October 16. We will be walking to the Apple Store in the 5th Avenue Mall to participate in "Coding with Sphero" We will leave the school at about 10:10 and should return about 12:30. This will be a fun learning experience! I am also excited about our next upcoming scheduled field trip! On Thursday, October 31 we will be walking to the Performing Arts Center to see "Soul Street Dance Company" brought to us by Alaska Junior Theater. We will leave the school at 11:10 and return about 1:15. We will have a snack before we leave and eat lunch when we return. Please indicate on the permission slip if you would like to order a sack lunch from the cafeteria for your child. Please return this permission slip as soon as possible as we have to pay for the show in advance. All payments are non-refundable. This should be a fun show for all! We have been busy in Room 177 learning about money, antonyms, adjectives and articles, math facts and operations, reading, writing, penmanship, continents and oceans, volcanoes, spelling and more! It has been a wonderful week! I love observing your children and all the growth they are making! If you have any questions or concerns, please email me at moyer_craig@asdk12.org or call or write me a note. Sincerely, Craig Moyer
