Happy Thanksgiving!

 
Picture Retakes and Makeup
Picture retakes and makeups are this Friday, 11/20. Remote students should plan to come between 8:00 a.m. and 8:30. If you are getting a retake, you need to bring your original package with you. Please park on the right side of the building. 
Remote Student Supply Pickup
All East Hill remote students can pick up their music kits on Monday, 11/23 between 12:00 and 3:00. Students in grades 2, 3, and 4 can also pick up their literacy materials at this time. Any remote students that are getting their pictures taken (or retaken) on Friday, 11/20 can pick up their materials at that time. Please call the office (315-487-4648) if you need to arrange for an alternate time.

If you need a hard copy of your child's report card mailed to your home, please contact Mrs. Farley at efarley@westgenesee.org, or call the school at 315-487-4648. 
Gratitude
We are focusing on the character strength of gratitude this week and next. Gratitude means you are aware of and thankful for good things that happen. I am so grateful to work with such amazing children, and families, and with such a caring and dedicated staff. I am truly very fortunate. Thank you to those of you that donated money or items for the Thanksgiving dinners. It is very much appreciated. I hope you can all take some time over the Thanksgiving holiday to rest, relax, and enjoy your families! Speaking of Thanksgiving, I found turkeys all over the school today!






Parent Conferences
As a reminder, next Monday and Tuesday are half-days. Bus dismissal is at 11:00 with parent pickup immediately following. All conferences are being held via Zoom.
Enjoy the rest of the week and the Thanksgiving holiday!
