There will be a reading, spelling, and grammar test on Friday.

Please make sure your child studies the DOL study guide that comes home on Thursday nights. Everything on the DOL test comes from the weekly DOL lessons or past lessons. I also read the tests to the students on Thursday to help them prepare.

Last week's tests come home on Tuesday, including chapter 1 social studies tests.

If your child makes a D (60-69) or an F (59 and below), please sign the test and return it the next day. 

Thanks to all the support of the book fair last week and thanks for coming to the weekly morning events.

Please check agenda books daily!

Your child has spelling homework this week on Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday nights. Homework is listed in the agenda books! 

Letters about flu shots are coming home on Monday!

Ident-a-kid is Thursday, September 20! More info. to come!

A note went home last week about OIS Choir!

Please continue to talk with your child about their school work, homework, conduct, notes from the school/teachers, etc. Some of the students are still adjusting to a new school year and getting organized!

Let me know if you need me in any way!
