Reminders
As we are entering the winter months please inform your students of YOUR expectations of wearing coats at recess, etc. Although we can encourage them to wear things we cannot force them and want them to be warm and healthy!
Please remind students about behavior, communicate with your childs teacher about clipping up and down and the expectation that they are here to learn :)
