Dear Families,
Spring has sprung and the warm weather has visited a few times. Students have begun to ride their bikes to and from school. Please remind your students to wear their helmets when riding their bikes!
At conferences you should have gotten information about summer school, been asked to fill out our family survey, and given the classroom teacher your family input sheet. Please contact your student’s teacher if you were unable to attend a conference.
On May 22nd we will be having a family literacy night for students in grade K-3 and their families. The event is funded through our CLiF grant and should be a fantastic evening. If you have a student in grades K-3 you should have received an invitation during conferences. Please RSVP by April 18th.
