Yealey Elementary School Newsletter

 Yealey Families,

We had a great week at school! And we were able to end the week with a little Sharpening The Saw during our Costume Parade and Fall Celebrations.  It is so nice to be able to spend time having fun with one another.  

In November we will start focusing on Habit 2, Beginning With the End in Mind.  Our action teams would like to remind you that,

•  In this habit, we teach children to clearly define their vision and purpose in life, which makes all the difference. 
• To Begin With the End in Mind means to start every endeavor with clearly defined outcomes. 

Beginning with the end in mind is the first step to creating a plan.  And without a plan, goals are just wishes or dreams.  This is the first step in making dreams come true.

Thank you to all the parents who came in for conferences this past Tuesday.  I hope you saw the goals your child has set for themselves and how we are helping them make plans to reach these goals.  

Just as a reminder - there is no school Tuesday, November 8th because that is election day.

Students will be arriving home early today due to the early release day.  Teachers and staff will use this afternoon to analyze our testing data and share ideas with one another across the grade levels.  This is very valuable work that we can't do during a normal school day since different grade levels don't have planning at the same time. 

I hope you all enjoy your weekend with family and friends.  

Mrs. Turner
