AR November Update
The second nine-weeks is underway. Has your child taken an AR quiz yet? The deadline for this nine-weeks is December 15. Did you know that the library has a time each day when your child can come to trade in the library books they have finished reading? Open Library allows students to visit the library (with their teacher’s permission) to check books in and find new ones to read for AR. The Open Library schedule is as follows:
· Monday 12:15-1:00
· Tuesday 8:15-9:00 (grades K, 2, 4, and 6)
· Wednesday 10:15-11:00
· Thursday 8:15-9:00 (grades 1, 3, and 5)
· Friday 2:15-3:00
