Look into our week 11/9-11/13

Good morning parents and guardians,

What a fun short week, hoping the same will go for next week!
Reminder: we get FREE DRESS every Friday for the month of November!

CONGRATS!

Scholastic book orders can always be placed online using the link to the right of the page and they will arrive quicker. If you have any questions or concerns please feel free to email me or stop by the classroom.

Parents have been asking about volunteering in the classroom. REACH allows parents to work with students for 3 days, after this they need to be finger printed. More information can be found in the office. The following would be the best times for parents to come in and help (working with students in small groups).
If you would like to help on any day, please let me know at least one day in advance.
