Merry Christmas, and Happy New Year!
The 4th graders have a busy week ahead! Please take a moment to review what we will be covering over this week. It is important that students bring in a charged chromebook to school each day. Our Physical Education Special on Tuesday has been moved to Thursdays at 10:40-11:20 for the month of January. Please be sure that your child wears sneakers on Wednesday’s and Thursday’s for January. As the weather begins to get colder please ensure that your child is bringing an appropriate jacket to school each day. We will be going outside every day we can, it is important that your child is dressed appropriately.
