Dear Parents,
Just to give you a heads-up, your child's first third grade progress report will be coming home on Monday. Please go over it carefully and let me know if you have any questions, concerns, or information that would help me get to know your child better. The signed progress report will be due back to class by Friday, October 3rd. Once I check off your signature, I will be sure to return it to you to keep.
Have a wonderful weekend. Happy Fall!
Mrs. McLoud
