News You Can Use

Hello Parents,

This is our last week before Thanksgiving break! We have the Scholastic Book Fair this week and Parent Preview Night and Science Night on Wednesday, November 20, 5:30p.m.-7:00p.m.

During parent preview night, students will spend time with their families in the gym exploring the various science activities. After the science activities, families will come to the classrooms to get information on the next IB project and the skills students will be learning in the 3rd six weeks.

I will send reminders through the app. We hope everyone has a relaxing Thanksgiving break and enjoy spending time with family and friends.
