August 20-24

We are entering into our fourth week of school! We are almost halfway through the quarter! As a result, progress reports will be coming out soon, so please make sure to remind your child that they need to be turning in their homework and participating in class. Notices will go home this week for any missing homework assignments your child has. As a reminder, please try to schedule appointments for before or after school; students miss a lot of content when they leave early or arrive late to school. 

Reminders:

-Please bring a black, wide ruled notebook (spiral or composition) to school with your child on Monday! We will use this for spelling

-This week is spirit week!

                Monday: Hawaiian Day

                Tuesday: Twin Day (twin with Miss Fawcett and wear red!)

                Wednesday: Rainbow Day

                Thursday: Western Day

                Friday: School spirit day – wear all purple!

 -Wednesday is Curriculum Night from 4:30-6pm.
