As the weather continues to change, please make sure your child is dressed appropriately for outdoor recess and arrival/dismissal times. Coats, hats, gloves, boots, and warm layers help ensure students stay comfortable and can safely enjoy time outside. If your child needs access to proper weather gear, please reach out to myself or the office and we can connect you with resources.

Book Orders
Book Orders
Scholastic Book Clubs flyers are made for you and your child to shop for books your child will love to read. Each month, the flyers are filled with trusted, excellent quality, age-appropriate books chosen by Scholastic for prices as low as one dollar.
All orders are shipped directly to our classroom. Also, when you order from Scholastic you are supporting our classroom because we get bonus points from every order that we can use to buy books for our classroom library!
Two ways to order:
1. Go online to: scholastic.com/newparent
Look up my name: Melanie Olson
Or enter our Class Code - H6F6B
Follow the instructions to place your order online.

2. Check off the books you want to order for your child and return this flyer to me with a check to Scholastic Book Clubs.
If you are interested in ordering books, please consider ordering online.
