Important Information
It’s a short November week. Veteran’s Day is on Monday, and we do not have school.
Children do not need their computers at school this week. I will be assigning Xtramath homework each night.
Friday is Parent/Teacher conferences. If you have not signed up for a conference, please do so using the following link: https://tls.youcanbook.me/ I am looking forward to seeing everyone because I know that you all value the education that your child receives. Please know that if you have any questions or concerns, I am always here to help.
This week, I will be giving back Completed Work Folders during the Parent/Teacher conference.
