As part of our Halloween festivities on Friday, October 31st, we will be doing “Pumpkin Math” on the morning of Halloween.  We will measure, weigh, count, estimate, and graph various characteristics of our pumpkins. I am interested in getting 5 parent helpers for this activity.  It will take place from 8:50-9:50. Plus, if each helper could bring a pumpkin, a knife, and a spoon for scooping, it would be greatly appreciated.  If you are unable to help but would like to donate a pumpkin feel free to send it to school at any time. If you are interested and available please get back to me as soon as possible. Thank you for your support! I am looking forward to working together. Happy Halloween!

    Contact Mrs. Buti to Volunteer!

Dear Parents,
We are very excited to start Camp Read-A-Lot!
Unfortunately, there was a little ordering mishap... we received the wrong folder in the School Supply Kit,  so t
he oversized 7-section accordion folder will be coming home.

Here are your  TWO options for replacing the folder:
1) Purchase a new one yourself (See link below)
2) Send in $2 - we will purchase it for you.


Below is a picture of the preferred folder. You can find them at Target Here.

Be on the lookout for a Camp Read-A-Lot letter coming home with more information!

Fall Festival Info

Dear Indian Trail Families,

We have a slightly new plan for Fall Festival Activities on Friday, October 31st at Indian Trail School.  The change is to address safety during the parade, classroom parties, and dismissal.

The details are as follows:
  • The parade will begin promptly at 1:35pm and end at approximately 1:55pm on the blacktop. The parade route will be around the blacktop of the playground.  Parents are welcome to observe the parade by standing along the perimeter of the playground blacktop. (Please see the attached map - Halloween Parade Map -IT)
  • Classroom Parties will be during the time frame of 2pm -3pm at the discretion of the classroom teacher.  Only previously arranged classroom parents and volunteers will be able to attend classroom parties.
  • All Parent Volunteers must sign into the front office and fill out a Visitor Sticker.  Our staff has been instructed to send all visitors to the front office without a Visitor Sticker.
  • There will be regular dismissal at 3:17pm.   There is no safe way to dismiss our students safely with last minute changes or last minute calls to the front office.
  • ALL NOTES regarding ANY CHANGES for dismissal must be sent to classroom teachers in the morning of Friday, October 31st.
  • K-5th grade students will be able to change into their costumes after lunch on Friday, October 31st.  Please remember that there are a limited number of adults to help assist students with their costumes.  
  • Costumes worn at school should be comfortable and conducive to learning. When helping your child choose a costume, please remember weapons and other suggestions of overt violence, as well as masks are not allowed.  Please keep in mind some families are deeply offended by the representation of witches, ghosts, vampires, devils, werewolves, and goblins.  
  • We continue to have the “No Group Costume” policy.
  • Information about the morning Kindergarten celebration will be forthcoming from Mrs. Walich and Miss Weinstein.
For specific questions regarding classroom celebrations, please look for information from your child’s classroom teacher.  We look forward to a safe and successful Halloween day at Indian Trail.  Thank you in advance for your help!

Sincerely,

Craig Keer and the Indian Trail Team

Fall is the time of year to clean out our closets, and during the month of October, we are holding a community-wide winter coat & boot collection. Due to the growing need in our community, we are collecting new and gently-used, warm, clean coats and boots of all sizes from infant to adult. The items will be distributed to families in need within our community in mid November.

Please drop off your donations in the Fall Coat & Boot Drive box outside of the main office at Indian Trail from October 13th – October 30th.

Thank you for your generosity! f you have any questions about the coat drive, please contact Shirley Harwood at

Math is Dreamy with Dreambox!

This week students began using Dreambox in the classroom during our Math Rotations. Only 2nd grade is piloting this program and so far, the kids love it. Think video game plots with visual/interactive math lessons. I am sending a letter home today that explains how to access it online (the kids know how to get to it from my blog.) and how to add it to your ipad.

Their website says, "DreamBox is PreK-8 math solution driven by a technology that's as unique as the students and educators who need it, love it, and use it to go to the next level."

 The kids say: 

"It's awesome. You learn all kinds of math." - Cameron
"It's fun because of all the characters and math games." - Sophia
"You can go on quests and you want to do the math." - Jacob
"The math is fun."- Ty
"The problems are fun and you get to find stuff on the challenge." - Honor


Here's how to get on Dreambox from my blog:
1) Helpful Links
2) Math Sites
3) Dreambox
4) Homeroom-Buti
5) Click on your name/character, and select your picture password.

Don't Forget to Wear Pajamas Tomorrow!

The party will be Friday morning before lunch. I will bring in a few movies for the students to vote on. 


All you need to do is remind your child to wear PJs on Friday, and bring ONE SMALL stuffed animal.
