Monday is Rock Star Day! Tuesday is Tacky Day! Wednesday is Animal Prints! Thursday is Camo Day! Friday is Spirit Day!

We will dismiss early on Friday at 11:45! If you child goes home a different way on Friday, I need it written in a note!

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 getting organized!

Let me know if you need me in any way!
