Dear Farmin Stidwell Families,
    I really do say the same thing every year -- November is one of my favorite months! I am grateful for the week off from school to spend with family, but also for the opportunity to share your children's accomplishments with all of you. Family conferences are held every year in November, and your student's teacher will reach out to you to get these scheduled. Dedicated time is set aside the the 20th, 21st, and 22nd to accommodate evening schedules. Our late evening will be November 20th; conferences are available through 6:30 p.m. Students are released early from school on these three days (1:25 pm). Our P.I.E. organization will be setting up dinner for teachers working late evenings that week; here is the sign up to volunteer to bring an item for teachers. We will then have a week long break from school to rest, recharge, and to spend time with loved ones -- Nov. 25-29th.
    Throughout the month of November Farmin Stidwell Elementary staff and students are reflecting and showing gratitude toward others. We would love to hear from our school families and the greater educational community about what and who you are grateful for at Farmin Stidwell. Please take a brief moment to express your gratitude to our amazing staff. Your words of appreciation make a great impact on our school culture and climate.  We will compile all responses and share them with the team on November 22nd before they leave for break. Click HERE to share.
    Have a fantastic Thanksgiving holiday and fall break however your family celebrates. We are grateful for each and every child and family in the Farmin Stidwell community. 

With appreciation,
Dr. Betsy Dalessio
Principal, Farmin Stidwell
