NEWS FROM THE PRINCIPAL

THE PARADE IS COMING!  
Weather permitting, Bartlett students will participate in the Halloween Parade next Thursday, October 31st in Goffstown Center.  The students will be transported by bus to Maple Ave. School.  The parade through town will begin around 1:15.  Students will return to Bartlett around 2:30.   Please notify your child’s teacher by writing a note if you do not want your child to participate in the Halloween Parade or be transported to the event.  If the parade is canceled due to inclement weather, it cannot be rescheduled.  

BARTLETT  TURKEY WALK
To support the Goffstown Food Network, Bartlett Elementary School is having a Turkey Walk on Friday, November 15th at 9:45 am. The students and staff will be walking along Mast Road to Roosevelt Street and through the neighborhood behind the school.  We will return to the school by way of Higgins Street. All students and staff are able to participate but everyone is encouraged to bring a non-perishable food item to donate to the Food Network.

SPECIAL VOTING
There will be voting at Bartlett Elementary School on Wednesday, December 4th.  On the ballot will be a warrant article on the formation of an AREA School Planning Committee, which will make a recommendation on an AREA agreement with New Boston.  Polls are open from 7 am – 7 pm.   Please note that school will be in session for students.  Remember to vote!

OUR FIRST SCRAMBLE DAY
Next Thursday we will be holding our first Scramble Day of the year.  For 45 minutes, students will be mixed up into small groups to participate in special activities.  This is a community building activity organized in part by the PBIS team.  Students involvement in future  monthly Scramble Days will be based on their behavior and work effort during the month.

PICTURE RETAKE
 If you weren’t satisfied with your child’s school picture or if your child was absent on picture day, a picture retake day has been scheduled for next Monday, October 28th.  In order to have pictures retaken, the complete original packet needs to be returned on Picture Retake Day.  If your child’s picture was not taken and you need an order form, they are available in the front lobby.

HANNAFORD HELPS SCHOOLS     
Hannaford Helps Schools is a program that provides schools an opportunity to raise money for playgrounds, assemblies, etc. When customers purchase participating products at any Hannaford Supermarkets, now through the beginning of December, they will receive “School Dollar” certificates at the register. These may be deposited in the collection tower in the store. Look for the slot labeled, “Bartlett School”. You may also bring these certificates to the school through December 1st. We appreciate your support.

REMINDER
Many children are without hats and mittens/gloves.  We are finally experiencing cold weather and proper attire is a must.  Recess is part of the school day and all students go outside, weather permitting.  Please make sure your child is dressed for the weather when they leave for school in the morning.  Thank you very much.
