Reminders for the week ahead...

PTO Fundraiser:

Spring Pictures:

Spring pictures are on Monday.  Please do NOT send payment with your child on Monday.  If you do NOT want your child's pictures taken, please let me know.

April:

We don't have much of the school year left!  It is hard to believe it is almost April!  We will be spiraling back to review skills we've learned throughout the year.  Please keep encouraging your child to stay focused through the end of the year.  

I am NOT sending out an April snack calendar.  We have had a lot of extra snacks brought to school lately that need to be eaten.  If your child has an April birthday, feel free to send treats on his or her birthday.  I will be contacting students who have a birthday during the summer months about a day to celebrate in May. 

This will be a BUSY month full of communicaiton.  Please watch for info about weather and the Justin Gertz visit, field trips, assessments, and other end of the year info that comes home in April.

Book Order:
