Due Dates
Shopping to Support Our School
Thursday, November 21st to get a jump on your holiday shopping while supporting the Curley. Stores on Centre Street including On Centre, Suzannah, Kitchen Witch, Hatched, and Tres Gatos are participating. Let them know you are “with the Curley" and they will donate 10% of your purchase back to the school.Winter Coat Drive
With temperatures continuing to drop, the guidance team is making finding each student a winter coat before the holiday break a priority. While the SPC coat drive is hugely helpful towards this aim, we recognize that the two students per class limit might make it difficult to meet our goal. We are therefore working with a community partner to accumulate additional coats.If you have a student who might need a coat who has not already turned in a coat drive form, please add them to the Google doc below so that we are able to get him/her one!

Open House/Bulletin Boards
All Bulletin Boards must be updated by Wednesday, November 27th. All bulletin boards should have the Curley template posted with it. Please be mindful that the boards should have grade level work posted that connects to a learning standard. This is a perfect time to update board prior to families attending a Family Engagement event. This is a great project for a student teacher and/or a set of responsible students. It is important that things are stapled up in all corners. Please note that you can share whole group learning (number talk, sample of writing process, response to reading etc....) The work does have to be perfect we prefer authenticity. Bulletin Boards make our hallways feel warm and welcoming and help us celebrate our students.
