Aloha Parents,

I encourage you to check Sycamore by Tuesday of this week to check on your child’s grades and progress. All missing work will be due on Wednesday, March 11.

We will be watching Mr. Popper’s Penguins on Tuesday. If you would like to bring treats this week, that would be a great day to do so, and students can enjoy them while watching the movie.

Just a reminder that the deadline for presale of Lei Some Cash On Me Opportunity Tickets has been extended to Wednesday, March 9.  Please make sure to return all completed tickets and money to me. You do not need to be present to win!  Tickets can be sold to family and friends, so please spread the word. Tickets are $10 each or 6 for $50. Students who sell a full sheet of tickets and return the completed tickets with the money by Friday will earn a free dress day or extra recess.

Can you believe it is already the end of Quarter 3! Students’ last day is on Thursday, March 12, and there will be an early dismissal at 11:20 AM.  After School Care ends at 3:15 on this day.  Students will also have free dress on Thursday since the school reached their goal for the Kids Heart Challenge.
