Hello 5th Grade Families,
I am Mrs. Gentry and will be your child’s teacher for the school year. We have made it through the first 3 days of school and will hit the ground running on Monday. Thank you all for donating items, I appreciate it more than you know. We have a new reading curriculum this year. CKLA will start on Monday. It’s new for all K-6 students and teachers in the district. Things will be different, but I promise to keep you in the loop as much as possible. If you ever have any questions or concerns please feel free to reach out to me.
