Hi families, October 31st is Book Character Dress Up Day!! Students at both campuses are invited to dress up as their favorite book character. Additionally, please have your students bring their favorite book (to match their character costume).
Book Character Costumes: Please no violent selections or weapons. If in doubt, leave it out. The purpose of Book Character Day is to enjoy the season together and make connections over literature–please keep costumes related to a book character.
Lower Campus:
Students and staff will participate in a parade of characters at 10:00 AM. Parents are welcome to come and stand outside the school to enjoy the short parade.
IMPORTANT:
(a) Please do not send to school any type of food or candy. If food items are brought to school, they will be sent back home with your child or kept in the front office. Please keep in mind that ICSAtlanta policy stipulates only 2 classroom parties per year that involve food from home (holiday party and end-of-year party).
(b) Please remember to review our Out-of-Uniform policy found on pages 13-14 of the Student Handbook: https://docs.

It is time for our annual Fall Giving Campaign!ICSAtlanta relies on the support of our families and the community to provide an innovative educational experience for our students. We do not sell cookie dough or gift wrap, but we do ask that each family give as you are able during the Fall Giving Campaign. Our goal is 100% participation for $100,000! We can reach our goal if we receive $125 for every student. Each class with 100% giving participation (with a donation of $25 or more) will receive an ice cream party and the teacher will receive a prize! Your donation will count for the homeroom of every child in your family. We have great giving incentives like an exclusive ICSAtlanta blanket and free entrance to the pasta dinner and silent auction in March. You can make a one-time donation or sign up for monthly donations. Your total anticipated donation between now and May will be counted towards these incentives.Please see www.icsatlanta.org/fallgiving and make your donation today!
Thank you for your help to make the Fall Giving Campaign a huge success! Please email Michele Neely with any questions.
Hi families,

Hola,
We hope you are having a beautiful week.
As you know, next week is fall break and then …. October 5th, Our long-awaited Spanish event.
Thanks to all those people who ordered spanish track -shirts. We are sending them in a plastic bag in your child backpack today.
Once the students have used the shirt at the festival, they can use it on Fridays as spirit wear. If you did not have the opportunity to buy the ICSAtlanta Spanish Heritage shirt, you may wear any gray t-shirt for the event, or you may purchase one at the event. There will be a limited number available for purchase at one of the kiosks.
Let us know if you have any questions.

Welcome to Mrs. Cruz’s and Mrs. Ramo’s Second Grade team!
Parents! We need your help!! We have a VERY exciting in-class group project coming up soon. Students will work in groups, so we do not need these items per person, but instead we need them per group of 4 or so students (so please do not send in 44 shoe boxes :-)) If you have any items in the link below (or anything that you think the kiddos might could use), please send them in NO LATER THAN September 5. Thank you!! Group Diorama Supply Needs
