Defer Dragon's Burning News
Friday, May 29
From the Principal
Dear Defer Families,
We are quickly wrapping up the school year. We appreciate all that you are doing to support learning at home. We also want you to know we understand each family situation is a little different. Continue to do what works best for your child and your family. On Friday, June 12 all parents will receive an email with the End of Year Feedback report from your child's teacher instead of a report card. The End of Year Feedback Report will include areas of strength and opportunities for growth in reading, writing, and math.
On Wednesday, June 10th families from Defer and Pierce will be able to pick up student locker items and drop off school materials in the Pierce parking lot. The student material drop off and pick up will occur at Pierce due to the construction at Defer. Specific information and details for pick up/drop off will be emailed home early next week. I will send out an email with directions on how materials will be picked up by families.
Thank you for your support,
Dr. Rheaume
