Notes From Mrs. Carder
Dear Wanda Gray Families,
Ways to keep informed: classroom newsletters, school web site, Gray Facebook and Twitter, and monthly newsletter.
We have school attendance goals: We want to be in the top 3 for best attendance in the district and stay above 96% in attendance. Each week we celebrate the top 3 classrooms by announcing them, posting them on social media, and giving the top classroom Blow Pop suckers for "Blowing the Top off Attendance!" We have monthly incentives and quarterly ribbons for perfect attendance as well. Let's keep our students in school and learning each day!
Read, read, read! We need our students reading lots this year to grow in their reading skills! Set goals and celebrate when your child reads books - better yet - join the fun and read with your child!
For the Students,
Angie Carder
Principal at Wanda Gray
