September Newsletter



Hello Longfellow Families!

We have had a TERRIFIC start to our school year.  Thank you for sharing your children with us.

  • The PASS program began on Tuesday, September 22nd.  Participation is by invitation only.  Students who received an invitation should return the signed permission slip to the main office. 
  • We will be starting multiple school activities and clubs - MakerSpace, Gaming Club, Chess Club, Flag Football, Choir, Band, Orchestra, Longfellow Leaders - just to name a few.  Make sure to check your child's folder regularly (especially Friday Folders) for these forms!
  • October is fire awareness month. We will have special Fire program by the West Allis FD on October 7th.
  • Parent/Teacher conferences for 1st quarter are October 14th and October 21st, 4:00-8:00pm.  Our expectation is that ALL FAMILIES participate in a conference during 1st quarter.  Please look for the sign up form to come home in Friday Folders on Sept. 25.  
  • Friday, September 25th will be our first monthly DOJO incentive.  Students with 80% positive points for the month of September will be able to participate.  If you need to sign up for DOJO notifications, please contact your child's teacher. 
  • A reminder to parents - EARLY PICKUPS should only occur in an emergency.  Students who are regularly picked up early are missing out on valuable instructional time.  
  • Phone calls and messages to the office should only be done in emergencies.  It is disruptive to classrooms to call with multiple messages at the end of the day. 
  • The Health Department will be doing fluoride treatments on Tuesday, October 6th.  To have your child participate, please return the form that was sent home last week. 
  • NO SCHOOL on Monday, September 28th due to Teacher Professional Development day.
