Message From Mrs. Sanchez
Can you believe it is almost track out? This quarter went way too fast! We will be working hard to finish up Quarter 3 this week before we start our track out next week.
Please try to make it to our Camp Durant: Trail to Success event this Tuesday. If you are not able to make it, please try to send your child with a parent, grandparent, or trusted adult to share their school progress. We have lots of great raffles for those that attend!
To celebrate track out week, we will have a theme week. See below for more information about each day.
2nd grade parents- Can't wait to see you here on Thursday night for the "On Safari" play!
Don't forget this Friday is an Early Release Day! Students must be picked up by 1:30pm so staff can begin their Professional Development by 1:40pm.
Sincerely,
Mrs. Sanchez, Principal
