Student of the Week
Letter About Attendance from Administration
Important Information
- It is officially COLD out, please make sure your child has appropriate weather for the severe cold weather that we are having. When we do get to go outside we need to make sure they are prepared for the weather.
- Please send headphones to school with your child. They will be using these weekly for class, media, science, testing, etc. They don't have to be fancy, you can find them at the dollar store and they work great!
- If you have not given $6 for party money please do that when you can. We will be using this throughout the year to help pay for our various holiday parties we have throughout the year.
- If your child has a change in after school plans it is important that you call transportation. Thank you for being patient with our new system, it is not perfect but we are working on it. I request that you also send a note with your child as well just so I know that there is a change in their transportation just in case I have a sub and also a reminder to myself and the student. Thank you!
READING HOMEWORK
