Hello Shark Families,
I know how excited our students are to have a real book fair back on campus this week! To ensure safety this year, Scholastic has added an eWallet feature to allow for cashless transactions. I know our students are going to love the book selections they have to choose from! Also the final MAP screener of the year begins on Monday for in-person and virtual learners. Please make sure Chromebooks are charged and ready for Monday morning.
Have a great week!
Courtney Rodriguez,
Principal
Book Fair is Here!
Important information for our Fair, held April 19th-April 23rd:
Safety First: The safety and well-being of your child is our priority. We’re taking extra precautions to host a safe, socially distanced Fair at our school, focusing on preventive measures. Learn more at bookfairs.scholastic.com/bookfairs/articles/safety
Contactless Checkout: With Book Fair eWallet, a convenient digital payment account, your child can shop the Fair cash-free. And now grandparents, friends, and others can contribute to the eWallet to help build your home library!
