3rd Grade News

Dear Parents,

Thank you for the important role that you have played in the growth of your children. We could not have done it without the support you provided them at home. Our SLCs for trimester 2 were remarkable and our tigers are ready to continue growing as learners. They will continue fulfilling their commitments and balancing their priorities in pursuit of their goals. Plus working on the tiger traits and reflect on how their actions can make a difference in the classroom.

Please remember that On Monday, March 4th we have student-led conferences. The students will come to school for Big ? Day. Remember to double-check the time of your sign-up, and you will meet with the teacher and your child in the classroom.
