Monday Message 12/1

Good Morning Lowell Families,

I hope everyone had a relaxing and rejuvenating holiday.  I can't believe we are already in December.  This time of year is very busy for teachers, parents and students.  There is a long list of announcements for upcoming events.  We look forward to seeing parents at conferences starting next week to discuss how students are doing in the classrooms.

Conferences and Early Release
Parent conferences begin next week on Monday, December 8th.  There are four early release days next week, the 8th-11th.  Friday, December 12th is a full day.  Dismissal on early release days is 12:15.

Picture Retakes:
This Wednesday, December 3rd is Picture Retake Day.  Any students that wish to have pictures retaken can do so in the morning.  Envelopes are available in the front entranceway.

Spirit Day: Snowflakes
This Friday, December 5th is a Lowell School Spirit Day.  We will make it snow!  Each student should bring a paper snowflake.   The snowflakes will be collected and used to decorate for Winterfest.
