Success Tip of The Week: 📚 Intentional Ways to Build Vocabulary: Check out this video with ideas in regards to building vocabulary. We are seeing improvements every day as our students stretch towards their goals! Keep supporting them, reading with them, and sharing how important school is for future success.
Things to Note:
Reminder: No School on Friday, April 3.
Reporting Absences: Please report absences to the front office before 9 am. You can call in and leave a message or enter the absence in the Powerschool Parent Portal. Entering by 9 am helps us know who is out and it saves you from our automated call and messages. Thanks for your help with this!
Winter Gear: Reminder that students still need winter gear as we go through this transitional time. Please make sure students have what they need to enjoy outdoor recess! Some days this may mean the whole set of gear and other days it may mean boots, hats and gloves. This is also a great time to give all gear a good wash and to check to make sure your child's gear is labeled with their first and last names.
Yearbooks: Forms have been sent home with students and you can pick up one in the office if you need one. Order now! Feel free to place your yearbook order now using this easy online link. 📕
