Just a few reminders:
- Family pictures: If your child attends ELL class, please send a 4x6 family picture so students can share and display their family picture in our classroom. If you have multiple students, please send one picture for the family and each child can share in their ELL group.
- Twitter Form: This year, we will have a class Twitter account to share student learning. Please sign and return the following form if you have not already. This will let me know if you allow your student's photos/learning to be shared via Twitter. New families please fill this out.

ELL Summer School
Many of you have received the ELL Summer School forms. It is optional, but is a great opportunity for your child to continue developing their English skills over the summer. I will be teaching ELL Summer School this summer, along with four other teachers. The program is flexible, if you need to miss some days for vacations that is not a problem. I have filled out the English level on the forms I sent home. For reading levels, you can reach out to your child's classroom teacher. Below is the enrollment form if you need a copy. Enrollment begins May 1st. Please turn paperwork into Community Education. If you have questions, please let me know!
