Mattos Family Update
May 22, 2023
MOVING? PLEASE NOTIFY OUR OFFICE ASAP
Dear Mattos Families,
It's the last FULL week of school- 9 days left! State testing is finished (except for those who were absent), students are done with iReady diagnostic assessments, projects are being wrapped up, and teachers are hard at work completing report cards! Please note: 5/31, 6/1, 6/2 are shortened days. Students are dismissed at 12:50 p.m. Lunch is shorter on those days as well.
I am really looking forward to Field Day next Tuesday, May 30. Please make sure your child is at school on time with sunscreen applied at home. Students may wear a hat/visor outside during Field Day. There are 13 stations that they will rotate through all morning. Thank you to everyone who has volunteered and a huge shout out to Miss Mia, our PE Teacher, and Mrs. Greene, one of the many amazing PTA volunteers, for helping to get everything together for what should be a lot of fun.
