REPORT CARDS

                                                                   Report Cards will come home soon.                                                                 You may keep the Report Card but please return the envelope signed ASAP!

***Please continue to talk your child about the importance of following school rules and                                   routines.  These help us stay SAFE, be KIND and do our BEST at school.                                When everyone follows the rules, our classroom becomes a happy, calm place                         where we can all learn and grow together. 👍

                    Please read and sign the Behavior note coming home in                      folders on Monday.
