News and Notes
Thank you for your understanding and flexibility as we dealt with the heat last week. The children were great! I am looking forward to a fabulous 23-24 school year.
You have received many forms from the office, including technology use, photograph permission, handbook signature form, textbook form and others. All these forms are extremely important. Please make sure you send those back as soon as possible!
The HSA Zoom meeting that was scheduled for this week will be rescheduled for later in the month. I apologize for the inconvenience.
Have a fabulous day,
Ms. Kazan
