                    Div. 11 finally finished all their Terry Fox artwork, doesn't it look amazing,

*Halloween 

Costumes can be worn to school on Monday, Oct. 31st but should be easy to take off and on as they still will be going outside at recess and lunch and I wouldn't want their costumes to get ruined.   Please be sure to read the notice that the district sent out about costumes guidelines.

Thanks to the following students who will be providing our goodies on Monday...

Luciano - fruit plate, Rhett - veggie plate,  August - cheese/crackers or small sandwiches,  

Ethan  - sweet treat, Zack - Popcorn/chips or pretzels

*Reader's Workshop books - please be practicing these daily with your child but also returning them to school daily so they can practice them here too.

*Individual Photos are now available online Lifetouch Photos   You will click on the link and follow the "student ID" directions. Student ID can be found on the parent portal under "my account", if you scroll to the bottom you will see each of your child's IDs.   

*All parents that have done their driver's abstracts could you please send me a digital copy of your ICBC information.  Thanks so much, also if there are any parents that didn't get the volunteer forms or the driver's abstracts who want them please let me know and I will send them home with your child.  Even if you are only driving your own child you still need to complete the volunteer application form.  Terry Fox pictures.  With different students away it took awhile to finish these up but they turned out so well I wanted to share our bulletin board!

*Art Cards went home on Tuesday.  Please return these asap, the deadline is Nov. 3rd and please note even if you are not purchasing anything please still send in your child's amazing art cards.

*Club RED - November is National Family Literacy Month and Fairview is celebrating with our CLUB RED.  Your child has brought home a letter and calendar explaining this special month.  Please keep the calendar in a visible spot at home or in their planner but be sure to be initialling each day after reading and your child should also colour that square.
