Winter Gear
Parents, please be sure to have your child prepared for winter weather. Unfortunately, we have several students that come to school without hats, boots, and mittens. Please help your child be ready for cold weather recess. They may want a change of clothes/shoes if theirs get wet. Students do need tennis shoes for gym classes. If you need assistance with items, please contact Mrs. Jorgenson or Mrs. Broe.
Birthday Invitation Reminders
Please see the information about birthday invitations from the Elementary Student Handbook.
If your child is going to bring invitations to school for a party at home, all the children in the class must be invited. If you aren't inviting all the children in the class, do not bring the invitations to school; mail or hand-deliver the invitations.
March Parent/Teacher Conferences
The second round of conferences are just around the corner….
