Happy Halloween! (and end of October!) As we near the end of October – you may be thinking this school year is FLYING by or you may still be drowning in all of the school priorities that take place this time of year (parent conferences, mid-semester assessments, ending of the honeymoon phase, holiday parties, campus-wide events, etc….)
