October 2023
Dear Parents/Guardians,
I am pleased to announce that Cedar Mountain is off to a great start! October is a busy month filled with lots of learning, activities and events!
We kicked off the month with Week of Respect with daily themes representing different ways to respect one another.
Friday, October 6th was Fire Safety Day at Cedar Mountain. The students loved receiving their red fire hats and gathering in front of the building to see the trucks and meet with the Vernon Fire Department to talk about fire safety.
Wednesday, October 11th there will be a virtual parent session on Social-Emotional Growth from 6:00 - 7:00 pm. Please join using this LINK.
The SCA will be hosting a Spook-tacular Glow Dance on Friday, October 13th from 5:30-7:30pm, open to all CM & WR students and their families.
As a reminder, we will be operating on an early dismissal schedule the week of October 16th through October 20th for Parent/Teacher Conferences.
The week of October 16th through October 20th is Digital Citizenship Week! We will acknowledge this week as follows…
