RE-REGISTRATION/ASSOCIATION MEETINGS – Monday and Tuesday, March 5th and 6th, 6:30 PM
Parents planning to re-register their students are expected to attend a re-registration meeting, and will receive a discount on their registration fee when registering at the meeting.
During the Association portion of the meeting, parents will affirm two board members and vote on a proposed change to Shalom’s Constitution and By-laws. You received information on these items in the mail several weeks ago.
THE SCHOLASTIC BOOK FAIR IS HERE!
The Book Fair will be open 3/2-3/9. Students will be able to "shop" during their regular scheduled Library time. Parents are welcome to come shop with them! The Book Fair will also be open to parents following the re-registration meetings Monday 3/5 and Tuesday 3/6.
We will also be hosting a Book Fair Family Event Friday 3/9, 6:30 - 8 p.m. Students can come play in Mrs. Keller's Doghouse, test out their puppy prowess in our Doggy Agility Course and pose for a fun family selfie using our dog and cat themed photo props.
Can't make it to the book fair? Online shopping is also available.
