Loving the Snow!
Students love playing in the snow when weather permits as seen in these photos of them sledding and building forts. Please remember to store a second set of clothes at school for your child in case the ones they wear to school need replacing. Have your child check the lost and found for missing items.

Making Up a Snow Day
Students will attend school on Friday, April 19, to make up a snow day when schools were closed on Tuesday, Jan. 16. The schools were originally closed on this day in April. The district builds one day into the calendar each year where students would not need to make up a school day in the event of a school closure. Because the district used two days in January, students will need to make up the day in April.
Valentine's Day Classroom Parties
Sprague students and staff will celebrate Valentine's Day on Wednesday, Feb. 14. Students may bring valentine cards to school for all of their classmates. Please only send NON-Edible treats to school with your child’s Valentine's Day cards.
Our classroom parties for Valentine's Day focus on friendship and exchanging cards with peers and teachers during the day at school.
Thank you in advance for your cooperation!
