We are so grateful to everyone who supported our APEX fundraiser over the last two weeks. We raised over $18,000 which is more than we have ever raised from a fundraiser. All of these funds will go to supporting our STEAM programs, field trips and PTA community events. We are so thankful to everyone in our community for helping our school and making a difference for our students. We look forward to working with APEX in the future!

On October 31st at 9:00 a.m. we will have our annual Halloween Parade on the upper and lower yard of our campus. As a reminder it is our policy, and will be strictly enforced, that students may not wear any kind of masks to school on Halloween. Students may dress up in their costumes for the parade and will need to have a change of clothes to put on following the parade. All toys that resemble weapons are not allowed even if they are part of your child's costume, please remove them before they come to school in the morning. As a reminder face paint/makeup covering the entire face is also not allowed for the parade, students will be asked to remove this face paint/makeup. We will have some fun activities set up in the library for our students who would prefer to not participate in the Halloween parade as well.
REMINDER: As always, there are NO DOGS ALLOWED

During the professional development day on October 14th, teachers were trained in using Thinking Maps. Thinking Maps are a way for students to organize information and produce different ways to show their understanding. There are eight different Thinking Maps that students will learn over the next eight weeks. We encourage you to talk to your child about them as they learn how to use them. The eight maps are called the circle map, bubble map, double bubble map, tree map, brace map, flow map, multi-flow map and bridge map and they will be taught in this order. We will continue our training on November 1st during our next professional development day.
