Support a Happy Thanksgiving for Herod Families this year. Pay $2 to your homeroom teacher. Additional donations also welcome!

Hmm...What’s Renzulli Learning?

Ask your child and check his/her folder Tuesday for more information, log-in directions and password. Beat the holiday blues with something fun (and educational) to do!

PTO Corner

Thanksgiving Donations Appreciated: Grocery gift cards are still needed to help some Herod families. Turn them in to Ms. Palmer.

Rainbow's End Update - We are still hoping more families can join our PTO for the basic $15 membership. About 45% of families have already joined but we have a long way to hit our target of 100% of families and at least $2500 from our annual fundraising goal. Directories will arrive soon!

Book Fair/Dinner - Thank you to all the parents who volunteered during our Book Fair and Book Fair Dinner. Special thanks to Jenny Skjonsby, Kelsey Skiba, and Stacy Skalsky for chairing these events.

Literacy Night
Is Here!

Ever wondered how to get your child more interested in reading or how to improve their skills at home?

Students will join teachers from every grade level and experience literacy in a whole new way. Parent training classes will also be available for PK-2. Join the fun tonight!

Drive and Park Courteously

Our neighbors and campus community appreciate our parents who follow the rules. To avoid a tussle, ticket or tow, remember to:

Park without blocking driveways

Follow the established carpool route (Pontiac right onto Jason)

No U-Turns or turns in driveways

Be patient—avoid "carpool rage"

Be early - avoid the congestion.
