Please remember to do the following prior to coming to school:

• Please screen your child for COVID symptoms before sending them to school (I wish Covid was completely over too)
  
• Wear a mask if you have been sick in the last 10 days or have been around someone who has been sick.
• If your child is feeling sick, please do not bring them to school, call the school and report the absence ext. 73091

Should you have questions, please contact our nurse and/or health clerk.

Please note, January 8th starts the second semester of the 2023-2024 school year. That's right, the school year is halfway completed. This is the perfect time to check in with your child's teacher to gain insight into your child's academic performance and ability.

What parents may do:

• Make an appointment to speak with your child's teacher.
• Visit your child's class (s).
• Review your child's report card.
• Check your child's backpack daily.

Be sure to ask questions that are specific:

• What is my child's reading leaving?
• Is my child performing on grade level?
• What three things can I do to help my child perform better in school?
• What projects will my child need to complete this semester?

Parents you will be pleased with the progress your child will make when you show interest in school work, homework, projects, and their mastery of basic skills. As you know, the best way to improve is to practice, practice, practice.
