Make A Wish-THANK YOU
Thank you for all of the amazing donations! We have truly made a difference!
CAASPP
We will finish CAASPP this week with math testing. We will be testing from 9:39-11:35 so please make sure your kiddo is here during those times.
IMPORTANT-Students will not be allowed to have any electronics on their bodies (phones or watches). If they have a watch they can either take it off and put it in their backpack that will be left outside the classroom during testing, or it might be better to just leave it at home during this time.

HOMEWORK POLICY
If homework is especially difficult or time-consuming on a given night, I respect your opinion as a parent if you feel your child should stop before finishing. Homework is intended to be 50 minutes or less of reinforcement and practice of what we have learned in class. If your child has spent a reasonable amount of focused time and you want him or her to stop, just please sign the page at the top and it will be recorded as “complete.”
VOLUNTEER POLICY
