Today is preschool and Pre-K conference day so there is no school for Westowne's littlest students. Tomorrow is conference day for kindergarten through fifth grade, so school is closed for all students. Be sure to check in with your teachers to support them and your children this school year. Take a copy of this parent/teacher conference worksheet to help you get the most out of this conversation.

November PTA Meeting
Join us for the next PTA meeting on Tuesday, November 15th at 7:00. We'll share all the exciting events coming up this fall, including Movie Night and Holiday Shoppe. The meeting is held in the library, so enter the building through the courtyard.
Box Tops for Education
Box Tops are a surprisingly important source of revenue for Westowne PTA. Cut those Box Tops off of product packaging and send them to school in a bag or envelope marked with your homeroom teacher's name. The class that collects the most throughout the school year will win an end of year party. So far, the top three contributing classrooms are:
Ms. Rees
Ms. Jones
Ms. Robey
Keep on clipping!
Holiday Shoppe Donations Needed
Our beloved Holiday Shoppe is coming December 13th - 15th. We need donated items that students can buy as low-cost gifts for their families.Consider donating gently used toys, coffee mugs, re-gifted gifts, neckties, dad gifts, spa products, and other not-quite-new gift items cluttering your basement. Are you crafty? Turn your artistic skills into donated Holiday Shoppe gifts! Please, no glassware or oversized items; they can't safely get home.
Donations may be brought to the school office on Monday mornings and Tuesday afternoons. Thanks so much for participating in this popular program. It is one of our most successful fundraisers and the kids have a magical time. Questions? Please let us know.
