Third and Fourth Grade Family Math & Science Night -

Scheduled for Tuesday, November 1 at 6:00PM, this promises to be a fun-filled evening of hands-on math and science activities for parents and kids to do together - don't miss it! No advance sign-up is necessary. We ask that only Third and Fourth Graders attend the evening's activities, but childcare is available for siblings - please sign up at the front desk. If you are a First or Second Grade parent, mark your calendars for your Family Math & Science Night, coming up on November 22nd!

Parent/Teacher Conference Childcare for November 4th -

• Childcare is available on Friday, November 4th from 8:00AM - 3:00PM.
• Drop-in care for the time of your conference only will be available free of charge, with no advance sign-up necessary.
• All-day care is also available. This requires advance sign-up with Bonnie Maloney (bmaloney@lrei.org or x215), as there are a limited number of spots available for the day. Children who attend all-day childcare must bring a bagged lunch (no nuts, seeds or glass bottles, please!), and might want to bring a book, journal, blanket/rest animal. The day's activities will include reading, games and roof recess. The cost of this program is $15 and $5 for siblings.
• If your conference is scheduled for after 3:00PM when care is not available, it is up to you to make other arrangements for your child.
• Please plan to leave only your LREI students in our childcare program.
• Childcare will also be available on Friday, November 11th. More details will be provided about this in next week's blog.
