Hello families!
What a great week! It was so nice having the Longhorns back in the building after spring break.
Many events are being planned such as field trips, PTA Carnival, International Night and Open House. We hope to see you there!
Kindergarten round-up is also on the list of events in April. If you have a Kindergartener or know of someone who has a Kindergartener coming to Longfellow please come to round-up on April 18th at 2:30-3:30.
Finally, remember April 8th-12th is ISASP (Iowa Assessment) Testing week for 3rd through 6th graders. Please support your student by ensuring they get enough sleep and attend school on time.
As always, thank you for your support and working with us as partners for our children.
Sincerely,
Kelli Webb
