Parent Newsletter October 8, 2020 Coyote Strong Fundraiser With only a couple days left of our fundraiser, we are at our final push to meet our goal of $40,000. Thank you to everyone who has donated so far. We are excited to announce that we are over half way to our goal, and will have the pleasure of sliming at least three Kimberly Lane staff members on Friday! Let's join together to reach our goal and see what other lucky staff members will get slimed! We only need a minimum donation of $55 per student to be able to slime all 11 lucky staff members, including Dr. Wehrmann. Create your account at Pledgestar!
Teacher Leader Board Why Should I Donate? The funds raised this week will be used to benefit the entire Kimberly Lane community, teachers and students. Our Parent Teacher Association uses these funds to support: Teacher Grants for items to enhance students educational experience at Kimberly Lane
All-School Zoom Slime Party! Right now Mr. Clifton, Ms. Reina and Mr. Worth are lined up to be slimed. But we have 11 buckets of slime to use!
Make sure to tune in to watch the fun.

Coyote Strong T-Shirts This year your child received a Coyote Strong T-Shirt! It is has come to our attention that some of the t-shirt sizes are smaller than we anticipated and may not fit your child properly. We would like the opportunity to rectify this problem!
Reminders Last Chance to Sign Up for Conferences Monday, October 12 will be your last day to sign up for conferences in Skyward Family Access. Please note that this year there are no "flex times" and that all fall conferences will take place on October 13 from 3:20-7:20 p.m., or October 14 from 7:30 a.m. - 3:30 p.m.. The teacher will send you the Zoom link before your conference time.
We are excited to try this virtual format and hope that it allows greater flexibility for people to attend because they don't have to leave work/home. In addition, you will not have to compete for a parking spot. Yes, a nice silver lining!
PTA News Coyote Spirit Wear New this year, our families have the opportunity to purchase additional Coyote Strong spirit wear. As the weather gets cooler, we all need that extra hoodie or long sleeve t-shirt. A portion of the proceeds will be donated back to the PTA.
