Reminders/Information
*SOLAR ECLIPSE - There will be indoor recess only. Classes will go out around 3:10 with special glasses to view eclipse and then head to busses with the glasses. If you do not wish for your child to participate, please email the teacher.
*As report cards come home, take time to look at the comments and data reports attached. Please take time to talk with your students about any areas of growth and of course, celebrate their successes.
* Please do NOT send ANY medications to school with your child (this includes cough drops, suckers, vicks vapor rub, etc). All medications (including over the counter) must go through the clinic.
*We are heading into review and SOLs. Attendance will be even more crucial the last two months of school.
