This is also a busy week at Reading Elementary, and we really hope you'll join us for the important events below. Your presence and voice are always appreciated!
Kudos and heartfelt thanks to:
- The parents who volunteered and were interviewed by the Educational Quality Review team that visited RES last Tuesday and Wednesday.
- Community member, Jane Cleveland for volunteering to help out in our library.
- Students - Lilly, Joey, Lydia, Olivia, Vera, and Cy who helped tour our visitors around the school Tues. and Wed.
Act 46 Community Forum - Please plan to attend this community forum on Tuesday, November 15, 2016, at Reading Elementary School at 6 PM. Dinner and childcare will be available if you pre-register HERE. This is a very important information that will outline dramatic effects on this school and community. Please spread the word and be there to get a complete picture of this important law. As it stands now, the proposed plan includes both Barnard and Reading being only a Pre-K - 2 school with our 3-6th graders heading to Woodstock Elementary effective as soon as the 2018-19 school year. (OUR current 1st - 4th graders could be bussed to Woodstock if the proposed plan is approved. Barnard's students would go to Prosper Valley School for Gr. 3-6.)
All School Morning Meetings - Starting Monday, Nov. 14, we will be starting with morning meetings everyday beginning at 7:45 in the Multi-Purpose Room. Parents are welcome to join us for this valued school tradition.
Ski Runner Details - Information packets and forms will be coming home in the next week. PLEASE check your students' backpacks. Please note the following dates. In the past the PTO paid 40% of the fee, but this year has not been decided on yet.

As you know, we are holding our board elections again, since no one accepted nominations for the positions of Chair or Secretary. If you are interested in running for one of these positions, OR you'd like to volunteer to be a classroom parent member of the Board, please come to this meeting!!! If you'd like more information about the PTO feel free to email either myself, Boolie Sluka or Wade Mullins. Many thanks and have a good week!

From Mrs. Pam Boyer-Sheldon, Kindergarten Teacher:
The Rainbow Chaser Kindergarten would like to extend a heartfelt thank you to our wonderful Reading community! Our school flourishes due to everyone working together. The classroom community has been extremely busy making connections between family, school, and our neighbors.
We have learned the important roles that rules play in our world and the reason they exist. In our neighborhood we have made connections with the Reading Fire Department, the Post Office and our delightful friends at the Reading Town Library. The classroom focus this fall involved broadening academic skills, the forest nonliving and living parts, and ways we can make a difference in our world. Please ask us for more details. We love to share our adventures in learning.
Kindergarten is an active learning place. We are engaging in a variety of new experiences daily. Thank you to all the wonderful people that are helping to make this happen.
