More Information
Name Tags- Parents, we are finding that students are losing, breaking or no longer have a name tag. Please see if your child needs a new name tag. If so, please send in $1 for a new one. It is important for students to wear these each day at school. Thank you!
Library Books- there are many missing books from our library. Be sure your students are returning their books. You may be getting slips showing what books are missing, please get those in ASAP.
Lost and Found- this is the last few days to look for missing belongings. Anything left on Wednesday will be donated.
Managing Screen Time- if you are struggling with managing the time your child is watching TV or playing games, here is a link to a website that can be a good resource for those interested. http://www.familiesmanagingmedia.com/
EOG Math Night - Please save the date and join us for EOG Math Night on April 12th. We invite students AND parents of third, fourth and fifth graders to spend an evening together reviewing test-like items. Working together as a team, parents and students can practice various problem solving and test-taking strategies to improve the assessment experience. Every student who participates gets a prize and special give-aways will take place for those who attend.
