Notes To The Fabulous Folks
- Wintery weather has arrived in Pasadena! A reminder that all coats, jackets, umbrellas, and other school items should be clearly marked with your student's name.
- Superkids Update-The Superkids website continues to be up and running. The website is full of many stories and games that directly relate to the curriculum being taught in the classroom. This website is a valuable resource and the perfect way to continue to enhance your child's literacy experience. In addition to the assigned nightly homework, we recommend that you and your child spend some time on the website 2-3 times a week. If you need assistance or have trouble logging in, please contact your child's teacher.
