Newsletter
Valentine’s Day
Your child may bring Valentine’s to school as long as they bring one for everyone in the class. Your child may decorate a box, bag, etc.. at home to collect their Valentines and bring it to school on the 14th. I am sending home a list of names of students in our class. We will pass out Valentines at the end of the day.
Online CRCT Practice
During conferences, I sent home information about practicing for the CRCT. It included your child’s ID and password. Please consider taking some time to investigate this site so identify any weaknesses that your child may have in his/her academic areas.
I would suggest having your child visit this site once a week for 10-15 minutes.
Jump Rope For Heart
Thank you for those that helped your child raise money and those who helped with the event today. It was an exciting time for the students.
