Announcements

Half-Days Next Week

Next Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday, November 4, 5, and 6, will be half-days with dismissal at noon. We will have after-school care available until 2:30 PM. Children who are registered with Boys & Girls Club will be transported at that time if needed. Hot lunch will not be available on those days, so please plan to send a lunch with your child if they are staying for after-school care.

Many students will have rehearsals for Missoula Children's Theatre after school. Please plan to send a lunch with your child if they are staying for the rehearsal immediately after school. If they are staying for both rehearsals, please also send a snack for in between rehearsals. 

Parent-Teacher Conferences

Our fall parent-teacher conferences are next Wednesday, November 5, and Thursday, November 6. All kindergarten-4th graders should sign up through the link below. Any 5th-8th graders who are not planning to participate in Missoula Children's Theatre should also sign up through the link below. Any 5th-8th graders who are planning to participate in Missoula Children's Theatre, please return the form that came home with your child to indicate your top choices. Since 5th-8th graders need to be present for their conferences, we have reserved timeslots when they will not be in MCT rehearsals and we will assign their slots based on the returned forms.

When signing up, click on the tab at the bottom for the grade your child is in. Please make sure that you are not typing over someone else's name or a "Reserved for Missoula participants" slot. The sign-up sheet works best on a laptop or desktop computer rather than a phone or tablet. If you are not able to use the sign-up sheet, contact the office to reserve your spot for you.

Missoula Children's Theatre

We are excited to announce that this year's Missoula Children's Theatre performance will be The Jungle Book! Missoula Children's Theatre is a traveling drama company who comes to schools to put on a production in just one week! They will be at PUCE next week, November 3-8.

Auditions will be on Monday afternoon during school. If your child participates, they may have rehearsals after school starting on Monday. Plan to send snacks with them everyday and lunches on Tuesday through Friday if they have rehearsal after school. 

We encourage everyone to audition if they are able to commit to being at rehearsals and performances. The Missoula team does a great job of making the audition process fun for everyone! This will also be the week of Parent-Teacher Conferences, so 5th-8th graders should schedule their conference when they are not committed to a rehearsal. 

After auditions on Monday, roles will be assigned and a cast letter will be sent home to let you know which rehearsals your child will need to attend.

Rehearsal Times:
Monday, November 3: 3:15 PM-5:15 PM
Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday, November 4, 5, 6: 12:30-2:30 PM and 2:45-4:45 PM
Friday: 12:00-3:00 PM Dress Rehearsal (they will have lunch early)

Performance Times: 
Friday, November 7 at 3:30 PM
Saturday, November 8 at 6:15 PM

We look forward to this exciting experience for our students!
