In an effort to continue keeping our TEAM connected, we will be having parent/teacher

conferences for grades K - 2 and student/parent/teacher conferences for grades 3 – 5 to talk

about your child’s progress so far this year. We believe this will allow you to learn about all

of the things we at Trapp Elementary will be doing for your child to assist them to excel and

succeed. For 3 - 5 graders, this will allow your child the opportunity to explain to you their

progress with input from the teacher! Our #1 goal is your child’s success!

We cannot wait to show you all the great learning that is going on at Trapp!

Your child’s homeroom teacher will be contacting you to schedule a conference

sometime between October 16 - November 10.

Our annual theme day on Nov. 3 will be

CELEBRATING HISTORY & HISTORY WEEK OCT. 30 - NOV. 3!

Trapp will do a week of events around our theme of

celebrating history! We will have several speakers and the

students will have an opportunity to present their

information about their classes’ theme. On Friday,

November 3, they may dress-up in attire that celebrates

the history theme they learned about all week!

All events of the week including any classroom celebrations will center on our History theme. Please no Halloween themed attire, masks, or treats. If you have

any questions or ideas, please contact your teacher.

K - Community Helpers (Police. Fire, etc.)

1 - Pilgrims & Indians
