Davis/Martin Peek at the Week
March 12th - 16th
Dear Parents,
Thank you so much for your help with our Night of the Arts baskets! They were a big hit and the money raised goes to a great cause... our kiddos!!!
If you have not sent back your parent-teacher conference form, please do so on Monday, so we can finalize times for this week.
If you have not returned your child's JA Biztown permission slip and $8, please do so as soon as you can. We need the permission slip signed and returned with how your child will be going home. We get back around 4:30 p.m., so no buses will be taking students home.
Several reminders for this week:
- On Monday and Tuesday, 5th grade will be taking care of lessons and activities that must be completed before our simulation days. Students will rotate between classrooms, completing different tasks with their business teams. We will not be teaching our general academic classes on these days.
- Third quarter ends on Wednesday.
- Students will be dismissed 90 minutes early on Thursday. Conferences will be held from 2 - 7 p.m. unless other arrangements have been made with us to meet earlier in the week.
- Enjoy your Spring Break, which starts Friday, March 16th! We will see you all on Monday, March 26th!
Mrs. Davis & Mrs. Martin
