Week 1

Week 1

I am excited about our first full-week of school. Students came home with a homework packet in their Student Planner. They have until the following Friday (Aug. 31) to complete the packet and return it in their Student Planner. Students will receive Math Facts and Reading Logs in September to accompany their weekly homework.

Your child also came home with a grey folder, this is their Friday Folder and contains our weekly work. Please keep the contents at home and return the Friday Folder, empty, on Monday. Looking forward to seeing you at Back to School Night this week!!

Back to School Night: Thursday, August, 30
Please plan to attend one of the two, identical presentations that will be given during Back to School Night. The first presentation is from 6:30-7:00 p.m. and the second presentation is from 7:15- 7:45 p.m. This evening is for adults only and will include information pertaining to classroom procedures, homework policies, projects, behavioral expectations, field trips and much more.
Hope to see you there!

Fingerprinting

If you are interested in becoming a volunteer, we are asking all parents and family members to become fingerprinted. This is a $79 cost and will allow you to drive on field trips and volunteer in the classroom and around campus. Let the office know if you are interested!
