November Bits and Pieces

Hello families!

Here are some bits and pieces for November:


  • Today I have sent home a conference sign up sheet.  Please have your student return these to me ASAP as I schedule conferences on a first-come-first-served basis.  
  • Field Trip Permission Slips are due this Wednesday!  Please make sure to fill the form out completely!  I can only take a limited amount of parents to chaperone.  If you stated on the form that you would like to chaperone, I will let you know by Wednesday evening if I have space for you. 
  • AR reading requirement--Please check in with your student to see if she/he is close to meeting the AR requirement. (3 fiction, 3 non fiction) The deadline for meeting this requirement is next week, Thursday, 11/14.
  • We are diving into technology! 
    • This month our homeroom will begin using technology--Chromebooks and iPads--to research and present topics in Social Studies.  
    • Mrs. Parker and Mrs. Morikawa's math classes have started integrating Khan Academy into daily lessons.
    • In the computer lab, Mrs. Sancheti is teaching our students keyboarding skills.
  • If you are planning a trip and your child will be absent for more than 4 school days, you  MUST contact the school office at least 10 school days in advance to make arrangements for an Independent Study.  Without an Independent Study, students who are absent for an unexcused reason for more than 4 days will be dis-enrolled from Country Lane.  Don't let this happen to your child!  Contact the office at 408-874-3400 as soon as you know your child will be missing school.  Thank you!
