Happy Fall!

Dear McAuliffe Families and Friends,

Happy October! Even though fall has brought darker days and nights, our McAuliffe students continue to shine bright!

It was great to see so many parents at Open House.   Hopefully you gained a better understanding of the curriculum at your child’s grade level.   It is amazing what our elementary students are being asked to do, and yet they DO IT! If you were not able to attend, the next opportunity to meet with your child’s teacher/teaching team, will be on Thursday, November 5th when parent/teacher conferences are scheduled.  Teachers will be available from 5:30 – 7:30 to meet one-on-one with parents to discuss their child’s first term academic and social progress. 

We continue to work very hard to grow strong and solid students here at the McAuliffe.  Over the next two months all students in grades K-4 will be working on opinion writing, reading fiction and focusing on character traits, and getting more familiar with our new math program entitled Eureka.   Please encourage your child to voice his/her opinion on various home issues, talk about the character traits of family members and inquire about your child’s math “sprint” progress.

Our first PTO fundraiser was a HUGE success.  Together our school community purchased over $11,000 of Mixed Bags items.  Of those sales, $5,000 will be given back to the PTO to be used to support McAuliffe student related activities!  Well Done Team McAuliffe! 


As always, please visit www.mcauliffeschool.blogspot.com for current school updates and photos.

All the best,
Nan
