Please make sure your child brings a pair of wired headphones to school as soon as possible. We use headphones every day for learning activities, and unfortunately, we do not have enough extras to provide for everyone in the classroom. Having their own set will ensure your child can fully participate and stay engaged. Thank you so much for helping us make sure all students are prepared for daily learning!
