Mrs. Walters' News
We finally have our end of year calendar!
May 20-24 full days
May 27- no school, Memorial Day
May 28-31 Full days
June 3 Full day
June 4- half day, students dismissed 11:50 a.m.
We value the feedback of the families we serve. Please take a few minutes to complete our annual survey and let us know how the 2018-19 school year was for you and your child! You can find the survey here!
We are again running Arrows on the Move this summer (link to more info below). It is a free program and allows you to bring your student to our school libraries all over the district throughout the summer. Lowell’s Englehardt Library will also be teaming up with us this summer as well. It is so important to keep your child reading throughout the summer, and if you don’t make it a goal, it is easy to let the reading slip. Please consider signing your child up for this. I am also encouraging our students to access Relfex Math and IXL online throughout the summer.
PARKING REMINDER: With concerts, parties, field day and more coming up this month, please remember to be respectful of our neighboring church parking lot and surrounding homes. Do not park on grass due to sprinkler heads please.
While field day was cut short by a bit of rain, the students had a great time! Thank you to our gym teacher, Kelli Ludwig, for putting on an incredible Hawaiian Luau Field Day!
