Reminders and Announcements

Scholastic Book Orders- I sent out Scholastic book order forms last week. I will be placing the order tomorrow, May 11th, in order for the books to arrive before the last day of school. Please order online or send in a completed order form and check. Thank you!

Library Books- Library books or book replacement costs must be turned in now for students to receive their report card.

Attendance- There are way too many students being pulled early from class. It is important for your child to be at school all day. Please make sure you are only dismissing your child from class for emergencies and appointments. Thank you for your support.
