Aug. 28- Sept.1

Week 2

I am looking forward to our first full week together. We will jump right into our Language Arts, Math, Bible, Science and Social Studies curriculum this week, we are going to be busy!!

Back to School Night: Thursday, August 31

Please join us for this evening to familiarize yourself with what to anticipate for the year. Adults only can attend one of two presentations (both presentations are identical). The first presentation is from 6:30- 7:00 p.m., the second from 7:15-7:45 p.m.  Back to school night is held in your child's classroom and will be very informative and will also provide an opportunity for you to ask questions. 

NO SCHOOL: Monday, September 4

In observance of Labor Day, there will be no school. Enjoy the three day weekend!
