Plympton Family Update

Dear Families,

Vocabulary Day was so much fun! Students were very creative dressing up as various vocabulary words. Our celebration of Read Across America continues next week with our 2nd Annual Literacy Night. The theme is milk and cookies and students are encouraged to wear their pajamas to enjoy all things literacy. There will be various stations with activities and resources. And yes, there will be milk and cookies!

Next Wednesday, March 26, is an early release for conferences. Please reach out to your child's teacher(s) to schedule to conference.

Have a wonderful weekend!

Go Penguins!

Vamos Pinguinos!

It is time to start those daily allergy medications!

With the warmer temperatures here the grasses and pollen are not far behind. It is helpful to get those antihistamines in your child’s system before the peak arrives. These medications should be given at the same time every day for them to work.

Stock up with your supply and start now! We do not store any in the Health Offices.

Any questions or concerns, please contact me.

Stay well,
