Week of Oct. 10


Greetings Parents,

I hope you all had a wonderful weekend!

Just a reminder, we will be going on a field trip on October 28th to the Escondido Animal Park (Safari Zoo). We are encouraging parents to drive because we will only be taking one bus. We are also encouraging everyone to donate to Dollar-a-Day as this helps provide for our filed trip expenses. Be on the lookout for a permission slip to come home this week.  Again, I will be asking for 5 chaperones.  If you do not happen to be chosen, you are still able to attend the field trip and accompany your child along with their assigned group.  Also, if you are planning on driving your child, it must be your child only.  Also, everyone must meet at school at 6:30am the morning of the field trip.  We will board the bus at 6:45 and return by 4pm.  Please have your child wear their ILCS shirt so they can be easily identified. If you do not have one, they are for sale in the office.

Our focus this week will be:
