Elementary Notifications and Upcoming Events
*Thank you for a great first week back! You have done an excellent job embracing our "paper free week" and I hope you have gotten some great ideas to carry forward. While we are back to using paper next week, I do truly hope that you will continue to use more technology and hands-on activities. I have seen great things in the classrooms and the students have seemed very engaged this week. Keep up the great work!
