Parent Reminders

Dear Parents,

Here is some important information to remember. We are half way through the school year! Let's make the second half as great as the first!! Thank you for your support! Please remember for the safety of our students, to sign in at the office when you are visiting our school. Also, the building will remain locked until 7:15am when there is supervision in the cafeteria. Please help your child by continuing to check their agendas, take-home folders and reading log daily. It is very important for your child to read daily! January is a great time to start good habits with your child. Healthy eating and sleeping habits begin during childhood. :) Our AR weekly goals are to take and pass 2 tests. Ask you child which ones they have taken this week. The students earn points they can spend at the AR store for cool stuff and books too. The CRCT test will be here before you know it.  See my website list for some examples of great practice web sites. We are in need of some snacks for the class. Please help by donating some healthy snacks. Thank you for all that you do. I have really enjoyed working with your children this year and look forward to continuing to work with them for the remainder of the school year. The Home & School Connection sent home in the Tuesday folders has some great information and activities to do at home with your child. I look forward to seeing you during conferences Jan. 22-Jan. 28th.

Sincerely,

Mrs. Paller
