NATIONAL SCHOOL LUNCH WEEK
The elementary school will be celebrating National School Lunch week October 11-15 by inviting parents/grandparents/aunts/uncles to join them for lunch. Each class has a specific day to invite someone to lunch. Because of space, we ask that only one adult join us per student. Please let us know of your participation at least one day prior and include money. We no longer accept money in the cafeteria. An adult lunch costs $2.00. The salad bar is available everyday. A side salad is included with the regular menu. The schedule is as follows:
Monday Kindergarten/4th Grade
Tuesday 1st Grade
Wednesday 2nd Grade
Thursday 3rd/6th Grades
Friday 5th Grade
PARENT TEACHER CONFERENCES
School will be dismissed at 12:45 p.m. on Wednesday, November 3rd for parent teacher conferences. Conferences will begin at 1:00 p.m. and will end at 7:30 p.m. If you have not already done so, please contact the appropriate office to schedule an appointment for your child(ren). You will be able to pick up first quarter grade cards at the time of your conference.
The students in grades K-6 are once again participating in the BOX TOPS FOR EDUCATION PROGRAM which pays 10 cents for each Box Top coupon from various grocery items. Thanks to all parents, grandparents, friends, and neighbors who have contributed to this cause. Keep up the good work!
PUBLIC ANNOUNCEMENT SURROGATE PARENT PROGRAM
Pursuant to the requirements of state law 162.997-999-RSMo, the State Board of Education is required to appoint a surrogate parent as such time as it becomes evident that a child with a disability does not have a parent or a person acting as a parent to participate in matters dealing with the provision of special education. For purposes of surrogate parent appointment, "parent" is defined as a biological parent, a guardian, or a person acting as a parent of a child including, but not limited to, a grandparent, a step parent, or a foster parent with whom the child lives. The term does not include the State if the child is a ward of the State. The term does not include a person whose parental rights have been terminated.
The local school district is given the responsibility to determine when a child with a disability who requires special education and who resides in the District is without a parent. The District must notify the Missouri Department of Elementary and Secondary Education of the need to appoint a surrogate parent. Training for persons serving as surrogate parents will be provided by the Missouri Department of Elementary and Secondary Education and the District.
If you are interested in volunteering to serve as a surrogate parent, more information can be obtained from the Districts’ surrogate parent contact person - the person responsible for the District’s special education program.

If anyone is interested in purchasing the doughnuts, please call Mrs. Reese at school or contact an FBLA member.
FBLA is planning to add landscaping to our school courtyard. If anyone would like to donate extra bulbs or plants while thinning beds this fall, FBLA would really appreciate the contribution. Plants or bulbs can be sent with your child or left at school in the offices or the business room.

LIBRARY TO OFFER EXTENDED HOURS
As part of the 21st Century Community Learning Center after-school grant, the library media center will offer extended hours this year.

This coincides with the elementary school's first Evening in Education activity.
Your child does not have to be a part of the Tiger Pride program for your family to participate. Other family library nights will be scheduled throughout the year. Watch the newsletter for dates!
