5s

Week of June 8th

Dear Families:

This week our focus is on our in-person sessions as we celebrate and culminate the year with your fifth-graders, so the schedule looks slightly different. The links are on the Parent Portal and the Google Classroom.

Here are some great resources for Summer Reading:

Book List from Nancy and Elaine

Seattle Arts & Lectures Book Bingo

We look forward to celebrating the Class of 2020 at Tuesday’s Moving On Ceremony. As is tradition, the fifth graders end school one day earlier than the rest of the school community as they become part of the UCDS Alumni!

Best,

Sarah, Chris, Jimmy, and Katharine
