4/16 Update: Reading Test on Thursday and Math/Spelling Tests Friday
Important Information
A notice went home last Friday from our class parents regarding the Third Grade Wingo basket. Please make sure you read it and respond to it.
Please check with your child. Many students do not have extra pencils, and they really need them to do their work.
Please make sure that your child brings a water bottle to school everyday. Students should also make sure that their Chromebooks are fully charged.
All instruments need to come to school on lesson days and on Tuesdays and Fridays (band rehearsal day). Please check your student’s email for the current schedule.
