Look into our week 4/27-5/1

Good morning parents and guardians,

I hope everyone had a great work week! We are getting closer to the end (the students are in the brother and sister phase), and a few of our kiddos are ready for summer. Please remind them to always try their best and follow all of the rules. It would be great if you could talk to them about keeping their hands to themselves (and their entire body) and of course raising their hand to speak or stand. THANK YOU in advance for working with us on this.
