📐 Math Monday Post
🧼 Math is everywhere — let’s use it!

Parents, try this tonight: Ask your child to help measure ingredients for dinner or calculate the change at the store. Little moments like this help build real-world math skills and confidence! ✹

Ask your child what they are currently learning about in math, and share that with us in the comments too!

📂 Red Folders 📂

Reminder that red folders should be coming back and forth to school each day. Need another one? Let your child's teacher and librarian know. These are an important part of our home-to-school communication!

Inside today, you’ll find important log-in information your child will need for school. Throughout the year, the red folder will be the place to check for:
✅ Important notes from school
✅ Reading logs
✅ Letters and updates for families

Please help your child remember to bring their red folder back to SCHOOL EVERY DAY—think of it as their take-home folder for everything you’ll need to know!

Don't forget to "fall back" this weekend! ⏰ Daylight Saving Time ends this Sunday, November 2nd, at 2:00 a.m.

This means we all get an extra hour of sleep, but it also means our clocks will be moving back one hour. Be sure to check that your phones and devices have updated automatically so you're not an hour early or late! Let's make sure everyone is on time for school on Monday morning.

Enjoy that extra hour of sleep! 😮
