A NOTE FROM THE PRINCIPAL
Happy New Year!! I hope that everyone had an excellent break and remained in good health, despite the terrible weather. We are working hard to remain healthy with added hand washing, covering up when we cough, and staying in our own bubble space.
We hit the ground running when we returned, with classroom teachers beginning their mid-year reading assessments. We also held our end-of-trimester assembly today. It is always great to recognize our students who work so hard.
Hopefully, we will get some snow over the weekend so that we will be able to try out our new snowshoes and use our sleds. Please remember to send your students with warm outerwear, as we do go out every day for thirty minutes.
If your child needs a coat, boots, hats, gloves, or snow pants, please let us know and we can help to provide them.
