OREGON FOOD BANK AND CANNED FOOD DRIVE During the months of November and December, we will be having a class contest (Monday class vs. Tuesday class) to see how much canned food we can collect to take with us on our field trip. Please bring canned or non-perishable food to class (or drop it off at HOA anytime) and we will see who is the winner! The winning class will receive a special surprise at their last face-to-face class before Winter Break begins! Please let me know if you have any questions. Here is a website that will tell you which foods Oregon Food Bank needs the most:

BOOK SALE! Friends of the Hillsboro Public Library have begun their bi-annual book sale that takes place at the Hillsboro Main Library on Brookwood Pkwy. The sale goes until November 9. This is a great way to pick up books for really low prices, PLUS I have coupons for additional savings! (You may also be able to pick them up there.) Here is a link for more information:

November NO SCHOOL DAYS Mark your calendars for these dates, we will not be having face-to-face class on these weeks.
November 10-11
November 24-28
CONFERENCES? We will not be doing conferences on November 21st and 24th like the brick and mortar schools in the district. Instead, what I will do is contact families within the next few weeks that I need to meet with and scheduling meetings with you during the week of November 17-21. If you feel like you would like to meet with me, please contact me and we can schedule a meeting. If your student is doing well and you don’t have any concerns, I will not need to meet with you for a formal conference. However, I always enjoy talking with my families, so please feel free to request a meeting and I can absolutely fit you in.
Please let me know if you have any questions or concerns. Email is still the best way to reach me.
