Just a reminder: No school on Monday, October 14 to recognize Columbus Day/Indigenous People Day and Friday, October 18 will be an early release for Homecoming celebrations.
Following are some important reminders to keep in mind for this school year:
- School hours are 7:20-3:05. If you are dropping your child off after 7:20, please park in the front parking lot and sign your child in at the front office. If you are arriving after 3:30pm for pickup, please park in the front parking lot and walk to the office with your car tag.

ELAR
We are learning how to write using complete sentences and the comprehension skill of story retell using Beginning, Middle and End prompts.
Read, Read, Read
Read with your child every day. Have your child find the beginning of the sentence and show where one sentence ends and another begins. . Practice finding words with short vowels like "hop" or "cat".
Math activities
Using word problems have your child decide if you are 'joining' (adding) or 'separating' (subtracting) the sets. Example: Mom made 6 cookies and you ate 2 of them; how many were left? Dad gave you 5 pieces of candy and mom gave you 2 more pieces; how many pieces in all?"
