Dear Parents,
As a reminder, your child's progress report will be coming home tomorrow. Please be on the lookout for it. Please take the time to go over the report with your child and return it to school (signed) by Friday, 1/30.
Also, tomorrow the pink American hero packets are due back to class, signed by you. While we begin to use this research in class to write our reports, the students will be bringing packet #2 home tomorrow. It will be a green packet and will be due signed and completed in class on or before February 3rd. Thank you in advance for supporting your child in this process. As always, let me know if you have any questions!
Have a super weekend!
Mrs. McLoud
