From the Principal...Kristy McKnight
Today the entire staff of D303 was gifted breakfast as part of a large staff appreciation event organized by a community member. We were also able to hold a gift raffle where staff members won gift cards, candles, water bottles and coffee cups. We cannot thank all of you enough for allowing us to start our day with such positivity. Thank you for taking time to show your appreciation to our staff!
In case you did not have the opportunity to view our Veterans Day virtual assembly, you can find the link here. Our students had a wonderful day sharing, learning about, and honoring our veterans! Thank you to everyone who sent in photos and videos so that Mrs. Ignoffo could put together such a great assembly.
As you know, the trimester ended last week. Report cards will be available for viewing in HAC on Wednesday, November 17th. If you have questions regarding your HAC log-in, please reach out to the main office.
Next week is our final week of One School, One Book. We hope you have been enjoying Frindle! Below are the links for the final chapter read alouds. Enjoy!
Have a wonderful weekend!
