Dear Parents/Guardians,
Dear Parents/Guardians,
We hope everyone had a fabulous summer and is excited to get back into the swing of school again! I’m sure you have mixed emotions about your child starting 5th grade in these unprecedented times. However we are excited to start this year’s journey with all of you. We are also excited to meet and get to know your child. We want to welcome everyone to fifth grade. We are looking forward to a very exciting and productive school year. Before we begin our year together we wanted to share a little information about ourselves.
