Repeated Information:
We have enjoyed meeting with you all and sharing all of the great things that your student has been doing this year! If you have not signed up for a conference and would like to, here is the link to sign up. If you have any questions about your child's progress this year, please feel free to reach out to their homeroom teacher.
Please pack one NUT FREE snack for your child every day in their backpacks.
Please help up by reminding students to charge their Chromebooks each night. It is very important that their Chromebooks come to school fully charged each morning. We use these for classwork daily as well as taking tests. When Chromebooks are not charged, it becomes a disruption to student learning for the day. We appreciate your help with this!
