Happy Thanksgiving! I hope as you gather with family and friends this week you can take a moment, as I will, to count the many blessings we have in this country. Our Desert Trails' families are certainly among mine. Enjoy your holiday!

On-Line Curriculum
Did you know you can access your child's curriculum on line right from your home? At thinkcentral.com you can access our reading program, and at pearson.com you can access our social studies and science programs. (no cost)
Having these resources at your finger tips will help keep you on the same page with your child as he/she will bring work home and need some additional support from you. Be sure to ask your child's teacher for the passwords to easily access this support. Each grade level does offer a variety of support, but it is well worth your time to check it out!!

January School Survey
Our School Council thought a mid-year school survey would be valuable, but we want to know from you what are some important questions for the survey.
If you have a question that you would like our School Council to consider for the January survey please email one of our parent representatives: Jeff Gaunt at jeff.gaunt@us.henkel.com or Lynn Clark at lynnfclark@cox.net or myself at klee@pvschools.net no later than Dec. 11th.
Be looking for the survey at our January Parent~Teacher Conference time.
