Reminder - Parent Conferences 10/20 & 10/22

Dear Families,

This is a friendly reminder there is a half day on Tuesday, 10/20 and Thursday, 10/22 for Parent Conferences. Dismissal for both Tuesday and Thursday is 12:05 PM. We hope to see you all at conferences and at the Book Fair!

Sincerely,

Valerie Kelly, Principal

Book Fair - Volunteers Needed!

We are so excited for you to visit our upcoming Book Fair next week on Tuesday, 10/20, and Thursday, 10/22!

We need volunteers!

If you are interested in volunteering to support the Book Fair, please sign up using the link created by our PTO:

SAE Book Fair Sign Up Genius

To make your Book Fair experience more convenient, we are introducing two important changes to our model this year:

New Shopping Hours: Families will no longer visit during the school day. Instead, we have opened up two afternoons for you to shop with your child when you are already here for parent conferences! The Book Fair will be open from 12:30 PM – 4:00 PM on both Tuesday and Thursday.
New Location: Thanks to our recent library redesign, the Book Fair is moving back into the Library! (In previous years, it was housed in the gym due to a lack of space).

What about the students?

Don't worry—students will still get a chance to preview and visit the Book Fair with their class during their regularly scheduled library time next week.

Thank you for your continued support, and we look forward to seeing you tomorrow night and at the Book Fair next week!

Get Ready for Our Station Avenue Fun Run Fundraiser!

It’s time! You can sign up your student for our Station Avenue Fun Run! Our goal is to raise $20,000 for the Library redesign including making space and flexible seating. Signing up is easy!

Want to get involved? Join PTO!

Station Ave might just have the best ever parent crew running PTO. We had our 2nd PTO meeting of the year on 10/14. There are lots of exciting initiatives planned to enrich our school such as thoughtful sponsored lunches for staff on conference days, end of year all school enrichment, family skate event at Tony Kent Arena, etc. Interested in getting involved? The next PTO meeting is 11/12 at 6 PM. Children welcome. Pizza included. Hope to see you there!
