Our 5th graders are looking forward to lots of fun activities at the end of the year and we are SO excited to finally have a (mostly) normal year where we can celebrate this milestone with our students and families! We want to remind families that students who will be allowed to attend these events:
Attend school regularly and on time
Turn in work and/or do not have failing grades
Are Mindful Mustangs each day (do the right thing in the right place at the right time)
Letters recently went home for those students who are currently in jeopardy of not meeting these criteria. Please watch for communication from your child's classroom teacher in Thursday folders or via email/Remind for details.
Quartermania is in 2 weeks! We need to meet our minimum by Friday, May 13th in order for the event to not be canceled. Anyone who turns their order in by Monday, May 9th will receive one free drink ticket. If you are planning to come, please get your orders in as soon as possible! It’s a really fun parent night out with lots of great prizes, dinner, and karaoke!
