Quarter 1 Newsletter
Helpful tips to start the year off right!
*Make sure your child is getting plenty of rest.
* Tennis shoes are the best choice for running and playing on the playground. We go outside four times a day! Please double knot tennis shoes. If your child does not know how to tie shoes, it's a good time to practice at home!
*Check your child's backpack for their orange folder and return it back to school. You will find student work and important information in these folders.
* If there is a change in dismissal for your child, the office must be notified.
*Attendance is really important! Let's work together to ensure your student is coming to school every day ready to learn!
*Students can bring a snack and water bottle daily! Snacks should be small and be able to be consumed in 5 minutes or less.
