A message from Mrs. Pleak
Happy New Year! We had a terrific first week back with your children. They settled right back in to their school routines and worked very hard this week. At the end of this month our teachers will begin the second trimester report card testing for the middle of the year. We can't wait to see how much your children have learned this first half of the school year!
I have a few second semester reminders for you:
- School will be in session on Monday, 1/21 (MLK Day) to make up the inclement weather day we had back in November.
- School yearbook order forms came home this week. If you would like to purchase a yearbook for your child, please return the order form and payment to school.
- School Choice applications for the 2019-20 school year are now available on our Township Website. Please call our office if you have any questions.
- We are now registering incoming kindergarten students for the 2019-20 school year. Please share this information with any friends or family who will have a kindergarten student next school year.
Thank you for sharing your wonderful children is us!
Sincerely,
Mrs. Pleak

SCHOOL UNIFORM ITEMS NEEDED!!
- Our clinic is in need of school uniform items!! If your child has come home wearing a change of clothing from our clinic, PLEASE return the items to school.
- If you have not sent in a change of clothing, please do so. If the clothing was sent in July, please send in a new set that is appropriate for colder weather. Kindergarten is messy and we often need a change of clothing!! We appreciate your help with this.
