Dear Merryhill School Families,

Fall is in the air and we are excited for our upcoming activities this month! Our teachers have a busy fall planned, so please remember to review parent boards, lobby displays as well as our school website, so you are connected with all that is happening at school.

This month we will be kicking off our Parent Referral Month.  Please tell your friends and coworkers about our school.  A referral fee provides savings for you once they have been enrolled for 90 days.

Please join us for our 1st Trunk or Treat on Monday, October 31st from 5:00 pm to 6:00 pm.  Staff and volunteers will be hosting this event in our school parking lot.  We will have lots of prizes and goodies for the children.  Please see the front desk for more information and ways you can make this a successful event for our children and families!

Please remember, my door is always open if you should have any questions or concerns.

Thank you and we wish you an awesome month!

Angel Ahlbrandt, Principal

Shirley Gent, Assistant Principal

A Powerful Connection to a Lifetime of Learning

You can expect to receive daily communication and pictures via email through our Links 2 Home program.

Posted are “Weekly Skills”, “Lesson Plan”, “Daily Schedule”, “Monthly Spanish” and “Learning Outcomes”.
