READ ACROSS AMERICA
A NOTE FROM MRS. COFFMAN
Thank you to all of our community members that came and read to our our students, they enjoyed having you all here.
I have a few friendly reminders for you. It is imperative your students are in class by 7:45 am. If your child does not enter the building by 7:45, you must come inside to the elementary office and sign them in. We use all instructional minutes and class work begins at 7:45. If you child enters late, they are missing instruction. Five or more tardies results in Monday Makeup School. Also, please be sure your child is bringing a water bottle and mask to school everyday.
Gracias a todos los miembros de nuestra comunidad que vinieron y leyeron a nuestros estudiantes, disfrutaron de tenerlos a todos aquí.
Tengo algunos recordatorios amistosos para ti. Es imperativo que sus estudiantes estén en clase a las 7:45 am. Si su hijo no entra al edificio antes de las 7:45, debe entrar a la oficina de la escuela primaria y registrar su entrada. Usamos todos los minutos de instrucción y el trabajo de clase comienza a las 7:45. Si su hijo llega tarde, le faltan instrucciones. Cinco o más tardanzas resultan en la Escuela de Recuperación del Lunes. Además, asegúrese de que su hijo traiga una botella de agua y una máscara a la escuela todos los días.
