*REACH* Leadership Academy: Happy New Year! Look into our week 1/7-1/11

Good afternoon parents and guardians,

HAPPY NEW YEAR! I hope you all had an amazing break filled with love, laughter and lots of memories!

We are getting closer to the mid way point of the school year. Some months will fly by and before you know it, our kiddos will be becoming 1st graders.
In the mean time, we will continue to work hard and makes lots more memories.

Remember to always check back here on a weekly basis for all up to date info. Also, don't forget to check out the school's PARENT HUB (link can be found below).
Families, don't forget to use SMARTY ANTS at home. Log in information was given at back to school night. This is an amazing reading program that is also INDIVIDUALIZED! If your child still needs help with letter sounds, it will help them with that. If your child is ready to read CVC words, it will challenge them in that.

If you have trouble logging in, please feel free to reach out to me!
