Chain Lake Book Fair
The Fall Book Fair is coming soon! Save October 23rd through October 29th
for this fun event. The Book Fair will be open from 9:00 AM until 4:00 PM
through Wednesday, October 28th, but will close at 2:00 PM on October 29th.
Family Night is scheduled for Friday, October 23rd from 6:00 PM to 9:00 PM.
The Book Fair will be held in the library. Students may bring money to school and purchase
books during their recess time.
Do you have any spare time? We would LOVE to have you volunteer! Please see the attached
flyer for more information. We hope you can join us for this fun annual event!
Parent-Teacher Conferences
Mark your calendar! Parent-Teacher Conferences are coming! They are scheduled
for the week of October 26th through October 30th this year. Because there will be
early dismissal for all students for the whole week, we like to give families as much
advanced notice as possible. All students will be dismissed at 12:55 PM. Interpreters will be
provided for families at the parent’s request. Look for mor e infor mation to come home
soon from your child’s teacher.
Parking Lot Safety
We would like to take this opportunity to remind parents about our parking lot procedures. Because of the volume of cars that come through our parking lot on a daily
basis, we have detailed procedures in place to help facilitate the process. Please go over our
parking lot expectations with your student(s), as well so they are aware of our procedures.
Please be sure to watch the staff at all times while in our parking lot. They will pr ovide
you with additional instructions. (For instance, if you are asked to pull up, please do so.)
There are two options for student drop-off in the morning:
x Drop your student up in the parent drop-off car lane
x Park and physically walk your student to the gate using the crosswalk.
Additionally, there are two options for picking up students in the afternoon:
x Pick your student up in the parent pick-up car lane
x Park and wait at the end of the bus breeze-way
Under no circumstances should a student EVER be unattended in our parking lot.
In addition, it is imperative that all students, staff, and visitors use the crosswalk area to cross
from the parking lot to the breezeway. Our students ar e always r eminded to use the
crosswalk, and we hope to have adults set a good example. Our friendly staff members are
always visible in the parking lot helping to make the process go smoothly. Your help in this
matter is greatly appreciated. Thank you for helping keep our Cheetahs safe and sound!
Holiday Treat Guidelines
As Halloween approaches, your student may be having a Halloween or Harvest
Party in their classroom. We want to share our school’s guidelines for bringing food
ood
to school. No one wants to cause a child to be ill or keep him or her from having a good time.
x Food prepared by a commercial source (store-bought items) is preferred. Any candy
should be individually wrapped.
x Fresh fruit and vegetables can be served if cut just before served or prepared by a commercial source.
x Only commercially-prepared pumpkin pies that are labeled ‘shelf stable’ may be served.
x Non-edible treats are always a good idea. Bookmarks, theme pencils, or stickers make
great holiday treats.
A reminder that everyone—teachers, students, and parents—should wash their hands with
soap and running water before serving or eating food. We hope you have a great holiday and
enjoy your time at Chain Lake.
Costume Day is Coming!
Friday, October 30th, students and staff have the
option to dress up in costumes. If your child
chooses to dress up, please remind him or her of
the expectations for appropriate costumes:
1. Avoid costumes that are particularly scary and save
these for night events. Of course, no toy weapons or
things that resemble a weapon are allowed.
2. The costume allows the child to see fully and move
comfortably. Please do not send your child in masks;
we will ask any child in a mask to remove it for safety.
3. Face paint can become a distraction for students
throughout the day as it dries and cracks (makes for
itchy faces). Please do not send your child in a lot of
face paint or avoid it all together.
4. The costume allows the child to sit comfortably and
safely on the bus or in a desk and does not affect other
students’ “personal space.”
5. The costume is not expensive or delicate. Our children
play hard – please do not send costumes that can be
torn or damaged.
6. For our younger students, please make sure that they
can button and unbutton the costume (without help) for
bathroom visits.
Your child’s teacher may have more to share in the classroom
newsletters regarding the day’s fun. Please contact your child’s
teacher or the office for questions or concerns!
CONGRATULATIONS

Calling All Veterans
We would like to extend an invitation to all
veterans, past and present, of any military
branch to join us for our Veteran’s Day Assembly, w. The assembly is tentatively scheduled for Tuesday,
November 10th, but please check back for the specific time
and any other updates that might occur. We hope you can
join us as we celebrate our country’s heroes. Let’s make it a
red, white and blue day! We hope to have the local Girl and
Boy Scouts here to present the colors at the beginning of
the assembly. If Scouts participate in the assembly, they
should wear their uniforms to school. We invite all other students to dress in RED, WHITE and BLUE. Thank
you and we look forward to seeing you!
As a reminder, school will be closed on Wednesday, November 11th, for Veter ans’ Day. Please be sure to take
time out that day to honor our country’s veterans.
Volunteer Packets for
2015-2016
School volunteers are welcome and much appreciated
at Chain Lake Elementary. However, we typically ask
volunteers to hold off on helping in the building for the first
couple of weeks of school to give our students and staff time to
adjust to their new schedules. Please talk with your child’s
teacher about date and times that are most helpful for the class.
In an effort to ensure safety for everyone, all school volunteers
must have a completed Volunteer Application Packet to be kept
on file in our school office. Changes in Washington State law
have required additional info to be added to our Volunteer Application. Please take note of the new information regarding
reporting requirements for Harassment, Intimidation, and Bullying (HIB). NOW is the time to get your Volunteer Packet
completed and turned in if you are planning on volunteering in
your child’s class or chaperoning a field trip this year. All volunteers must complete a new packet EVERY school year.
In an effort to keep building copy costs down, we are directing
volunteers to obtain the Volunteer Packet online. Please go to
www.monroe.wednet.edu and click on V olunteers for more
information. Only the four signature pages need to be printed,
filled out, and returned to school.
Please feel free to call the office if you have any questions
about volunteering at Chain Lake Elementary.
Watch D.O.G.S. are here sign up today!!
Meal Program Grace Period
This is just a reminder that if your student was
receiving free or reduced lunch benefits last
school year, you must reapply each fall. The
grace period for turning in a 2015-2016 Free and
Reduced Lunch Application is next Wednesday, October
21, 2015. If a new application has not been received by the
deadline, your student will be charged $3.00 for his/her
lunch. Applications are available in the school office.
Calling all fathers and father-figures - Watch

last week, you still have time to sign up.
