What a great week of learning we have had to wrap up the month. We made it through Halloween, a fire drill, a live performance of Snow White and of course the day after Halloween!
Thank you to all the volunteers who donated their time to Halloween Happenings in the gym. It was much appreciated and the students had a great time. Today, in our weekly assembly, students learned about Diwali and Day of the Dead celebrations, that are taking place at this time of year. Ask your student to tell you some new knowledge that they learned.
This week, during early dismissal Friday, all teachers worked with our Inclusive Education Specialist, Terra Xavier, on reading assessments. These assessments will allow us to specifically identify where students are at in their learning and what the next steps in learning should be. The 2024-2025 Deer Run School School Development Plan, will focus be focused on reading and automatic word recognition. We look forward to sharing the complete plan with you later in November.
We would like to wish you all a wonderful weekend and Happy Diwali if this is something you celebrate.

Remembrance Day Assembly

Choose Safety Over Convenience
Our School Patrols are back on the streets at Deer Run School. These student leaders donate their time to help make sure that all kids make it to school safely. They have reported that there are some families that are ignoring them, as they try to make sure everyone is safe. Please make sure you are doing the following:
- Always cross children at the marked crosswalks
- Respect the speed limits of the Playground Zone
- Walk children around the staff parking lot on either the grass or sidewalk
- Follow the patrols and allow them to do their job
Lost and Found
Our lost and found is overflowing. Please come and take a look because all items will be donated to a charity over the fall break. There are many hoodies, coats and lunch kits that are looking for their home. We cannot say this enough LABEL CHILD'S ITEMS.
