Fall Book Report: Due October 22

Students will be coming home with a scoring rubric and information regarding the book report (a yellow page in their Student Planner). Take some time to choose a book that is appropriate for their reading level as well as fun and engaging, we refer to these as our "just-right" books. Students will have the opportunity to choose from multiple ways to present the information they have read to the class, I'm excited to see all the final products!

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!

School Website
