Jan 20 - Late Starts Jan 18 - No School - MLK Day Jan 25, 26, and 27: virtual PT Conf in eve Jan 28 and 29 - ½ days - Mrs Confer will be out there will be a sub in am. Feb 12th and 15th  - No School IMPORTANT CHANGE: Computers may be left at school. If you would like, your child can leave their computer at school.  Please send your child’s computer, charger and case back to school on Monday.   We are going to try to use them each day. We will send them home in the event that we go remote.  If you are using your computers with your child at home on a regular basis and would like to continue to do so then you may continue to send it back and forth with a full charge.  Snowgear - LABEL EVERYTHING.  Students will need snowpants, snow boots, hats and thick waterproof gloves or mittens.  These items may stay at school during the week and come home on weekends if that works well for your family.  Just tell your child the plan. Positivity Project - Our word this week was Prudence. Help your child to stop and think about the future when making decisions;  making smart choices now impact later. We are visualizing a stop light to remind us to stop and think before we decide.	NWEA Testing Testing went well last week. Every child was in attendance on the two testing days so there will be no makeups on the 20th.  Thank you. Parent Teacher Conferences Winter conferences are not intended for all families.  Generally I am planning to meet only with about 7 families.  I will send out notices to those families directly.  I will also send out a questionnaire to the other families.  If you have a concern that you would like to discuss, I am more than happy to meet with you as well.  Simply fill out the note and return.  I will be sending out notes after the NWEA testing is complete on Jan 20th.  Conferences will be held virtually the following M-W in the evening. FREE MEALS for all students this year! Breakfast and lunch will be FREE for the entire school year, thanks to the extension of the Summer Feeding Program offered by the USDA.    We are still asking families to still apply for Free/Reduced meals through www.lunchapp.com.   Blog https://conferk20.blogspot.com Any questions ?: aconfer@stjoebears.com text me at  773-968-9657
