Parent Update for Mr. Peterman’s Room

Well here it is and it seems like winter struck very early. It is hard to think that we already have had 3 snow days and it isn’t even December. I am sure everyone is thinking the same but then that is why we live in Michigan. I want to give you a few updates on things as we approach December. As many of you may know we cancelled conferences and are now looking for a makeup date. This date has been set for December 2, 2014. The time for conferences is the same time as they were before. The times established are 5:00 – 8:00 in the evening. Some of you had times scheduled and I will honor those times once again on that night. If you didn’t set a time for conferences and you still want to her is what I have available as well as a reminder to those who already have a time:

Tuesday, December 2 ,2014

4:30 – 5:00 – Dodie Vandyke          5:00 – 5:30  - Open            5:30 – 6:00  Ruthann Odren

6:00 – 6:30 – Dianne Potter            6:30 – 7:00- Open             7:00 – 7:30 – Open    7:30 – 8:00 – Open

If you want to sign up for an open time just let me know. If your current time now doesn’t work let me know also.

 Just to remind you as well that we will continue to ice skate on Mondays for the next six to seven weeks. The dates are November 24, December 1, December 8 , December 15, January 5, January 12 This is our regional competition and everyone is welcomed to attend and route on your son or daughter. The final date is January 26 with a makeup date of February 2 if we have a snow day on a Monday. Please remember to send proper clothing for each Monday. Be sure to include warm coats, gloves or mittens as well as snow pants to stay dry. We skate the full hour so we want our students to remain warm while they skate.

The next important event is our annual shopping day to Target and to Rivertown Mall. We are leaving here at 8:45 and returning at 2:00. We will shop at Target first and then on to the mall. If you want to chaperone please let me know. If you intend to have us buy gifts then please be very specific as to what you want us to purchase. Make your list simple and try and keep cost at 10:00 per person. I would prefer to shop only at Target so if you could center your list around that store it would work great. Also, we will be eating lunch at the mall. Most students can purchase a lunch for around 5.00. There is a A&W so most can get a kids meal for under 5.00. We will also do some window shopping and enjoy the mall festivities if any going on at the time. Iwil send home a reminder the closer it gets.

If you have any questions please let me know. enjoy your Thanksgiving Day . the greatest thing I am thankful for is your cooperation and sharing of your son or daughter. Not a day goes by where I am thankful for each day when I get the opportunity to share and mold my students as they get older. I truly care for each and am thankful they are part of my life.

With Grateful Thanks

Doug Peterman
