THE BUZZ FROM MS. GEMO | LOWER SCHOOL NEWS - GRADES PRESCHOOL-3
UPPER SCHOOL NEWS - GRADES 4-8 | HSA

I hope that everyone had a great time at Oktoberfest. Though it was quite warm last weekend, it does seem as though the fall weather has found us. Please be sure you’re sending your kids to school dressed for the weather, as they will be outside for recess as often as possible, as well as dismissal.

Next week our warm weather uniform ends. This means that shorts may no longer be worn - both regular school uniform and PE uniform should only include pants moving forward. Girls must have leggings under their skirts, as well. Be sure to check Ms. Gemo’s section of the Buzz for more information.

Ms. Gemo has also recently sent out an email communication about lice. It’s very common to have this happen in schools, please be sure your families are taking the appropriate precautions. If you know you’ve been in close contact with someone who has it, it can be helpful to consult with professionals. Children must be nit-free before returning to school. Also, please be sure to inform the teacher and Nurse Perez should your child/family find themselves with lice, as this helps us to be sure things are wiped down/sent home/washed properly, which also helps to slow/stop the spread.

Next week we don’t have school on Monday or Friday. At the end of the week we’ll have parent/teacher conferences. Please be sure to see the email sent by your child’s homeroom teacher to sign up for a time to meet, either in person (Thursday) or virtually (Friday). You are also welcome to meet with the Steam teachers, as well. These conferences are a great time to check in on your child’s progress so that they are set up for success for the rest of Trimester 1 and the school year.

Have a great weekend!
Mrs. Metz
