Happy Summer!
Dear Mattos Families,
Mattos is a busy place with Summer Academy taking place during the week until July 7. If you live nearby, expect a busy campus from 8:15 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. We are also excited to have Adventure Time's Summer Camp at Mattos as well.
Please mark your calendars for the important dates below. Our ending time next year is slightly different and we are welcoming extended kindergarten, so please continue to read for more information. We have a few more minimum days, so check those out too!
As you prepare for next school year, staff has put together a suggested donation list for school supplies. These are completely voluntary. Some teachers are asking for donations of supplies, while some are asking for a suggested donation to cover the cost of the supplies that will be purchased (no shopping needed). Please look for your child's grade level on the list. Mr. Colitz and Mr. Sandifer also have a suggested donation list. We appreciate your support!
