Davis/Martin Peek at the Week
March 6th - March 10th
Dear Parents,
This Friday, March 10th, marks the end of the third quarter. 5 chapter books need to be read (and AR tests taken and passed) by this date. Students received an updated report of their progress and can always monitor their reading themselves by logging into their AR accounts.
Be on the lookout for spring Parent-Teacher Conference information. Forms will be sent home this week to sign up for a time on Thursday, March 16th.
Scholastic book orders for March will be due Tuesday, March 7th. This will ensure that the books come in before spring break. A new book would be an excellent way to pass some time while out of school!
If your child is planning on ordering anything from D.A.R.E., money and order forms are due by Friday, March 10th. This is the last day to order yearbooks, as well ($12.00).
Mrs. Davis & Mrs. Martin
