Weekly Roundup: Octoberfest Sat 10/17, Safety Meeting Moved to Mon 10/19
TL;DR: School is closed Mon 10/12 and classes resume Tue 10/13. Octoberfest is this Saturday 10/17 from 11:00am to 3:00pm, and the PTA still needs plenty of hands: grab a shift or bake something on the volunteer sign-up, and RSVP or pre-order here. Note the Safety Protocol Info Meeting for parents has moved to Mon 10/19 at 9:30am (Konstella post). Also this week: evacuation drills, a housing questionnaire to return, and a PTA Board election on Tue 10/20.
