Welcome to our 4th grade class! I am so excited to begin our year together. I hope that you have had a wonderful summer break and are ready to get back into school. I am really looking forward to meeting you at our Open House on August 14th from 1:00 - 2:00.
The first day of school for students is Monday, August 18th.
