What We're Learning
★ ★ ★ DVA Wish List ★ ★ ★
Life Science Animal Supplies Wish List - having an interactive classroom full of live animals is not a cheap endeavor and many supplies are purchased by Ms. Atwill herself. Any donation would be helpful.
Bottled waters - with no nearby water fountains on the hallway, we try to keep small water bottles to hand out to students who forget to bring their own, but we have run out. Donations would be appreciated.

If your child knows that they will be absent ahead of time (for example, on vacation), please have them tell each teacher at least 2 days before they leave so that we can communicate what they will miss. While some of their assignments can be seen online, everything cannot. Being voluntarily absent for several days without letting teachers know makes the return stressful for both the student and the teacher. (This is not talking about illness related absences; we realize no one plans ahead for those types of absences.) As a reminder, absences for vacations or family trips are considered unexcused.
