Old News, but still important!
Folders/Planners- Please check planners daily. Sign that your child completed his/her work and take out any graded work.
Car Line- Please remember that the car line ends at 3:30. It is important that your child is picked up by this time. If you are struggling to get your child picked up you may need to contact the YMCA and get put on the waiting list for after-school care.
Dojo- I hope you will check Dojo frequently for classroom news and updates.
Snack- Please make sure that your child brings a small snack (just one) and a water bottle to school each day.
Homework- Your child should be reading for a total of 20 minutes each night and practicing skip-counting aloud.
