MATHEWS e-News
Thursday, August 27, 2020
Our goal is to keep information at your fingertips. However, we understand that it is possible to become lost with too much information!
Beginning this week...
New Information and/or timely information will be included in our weekly e-News.
The good news is that previous information and e-News are just one click away.
You can also review prior e-News on our Mathews webpage by clicking the title above, '20-21 A "Mavnificent Year!' It is a hyperlink to our archived e-News on our school webpage.
New information for this week includes preparing for our students whose parents have elected Face to Face Learning beginning September 9.
ACTION REQUIRED By Friday, September 4:
For our FACE to FACE families it is important that you complete the survey below indicating how your child will go home: bus, daycare, walker, or carpool? You will need to submit a form for each child in your home that will be attending Mathews FACE to FACE.

- Birthday treats for classrooms of students are no longer permitted. Teachers will continue to acknowledge student birthdays in the classroom as in past years, but food will no longer be shared with students.
