Thank You All

I want to thank you all for supporting me in the growth and success of your wonderful babies!! AS you know, communication folders went home as well as data folders. Report cards and the last set of graded papers for the 1st quarter were in the folders. You may keep the report card but please return the report card cover back signed on Monday. If your student made the honor roll, they will be recognized on Wednesday, November 8th at 8:10. It will be upstairs in the media center.

The reflection forms they normally fill out on Fridays are inside the yellow data folders. They are already dated. Please have your child to fill them out and return them on Monday signed as well. As you can tell, most of them are pretty honest when evaluating themselves. Let's continue to encourage them to do their best and put 100% effort forth!! Thank you for all of your support!

Tidbits

Weekly Communication folders came home this Friday. In the green folder, you should have grades, pictures, and a Veteran's Day slip. They should also have their weekly reflection sheet that should be filled out and shared with you. Please review, sign, and send back on Monday.

Please look over your child's pictures. If you choose to buy them, you can send the money in. But, if you are not happy with them or choose not to purchase them,  you can send the pictures back in. Of course, I had the chance to see them all first and they were awesome!!

On November 10, we have a breakfast planned for those that are who are on active duty or are veterans in the military. Please be sure to return the RSVP slip if you have anyone attending. There will be a breakfast starting at 7:30 and then a parade. All events will be over with by 8:45 am. Only those that are active duty military members will be participants of the parades.  

Also, this week, we have a 1/2 day on this Thursday and there is no school on Friday. Be sure to sign up for a conference, if you have not had the chance.  Please send in a chance of transportation if your child is taking a different method home either day.
