WEEK OF MARCH 18 – 22, 2013

We have an exciting week ahead! All our students are eager for Thursday and our fieldtrip! We thank the parents who have volunteered to cook for that day, and want to make it known to the rest of our parents that there are still opportunities to help... Please let us know if you would like to! If you have not sent in the monetary contribution, please do so by Monday!!

We want to remind everyone that Wednesday is an early dismissal day for Profesional Development (PM Schedule). Students will be leaving school at 11:45 a.m.

This Friday is also an early dismissal day (AM Schedule). Report Cards will be issued on this day. The afternoon is set aside for Parent-Teacher Conferences. Notices for the conferences will be sent home on Monday. If a conference was not requested but you would like to come in for one, please indicate so in the form and send it to school.
