I hope everyone had an enjoyable long weekend. Wow, the weather has been nice!! We will be finishing up reading assessments this week, so please be sure your child gets to be on time and has healthy food! Although we are expecting warmer weather these next few days, please continue to send your child to school with weather appropriate clothing (long sleeves/some kind of jacket).
