Holy Week Begins

This week there will be no school beginning on Friday, March 25-April 3rd.  School will resume  on the 4th.  Thank you to all parents who attended conferences.  It is a nice way to discuss students work and upcoming skills needed for the 4th grade.  Please continue to work on times tables up to 9 and it is a necessity for the upcoming grades.  Also continue to work on Reading comprehension skills.

If your child does not complete assigned work in class they are being asked to complete it at recess.  This will be on the honor system.  It is important that they become responsible.  Also if your child has to take work home it will be considered late unless it was assignment that needs to be reviewed at home.  If the work is done at home it defeats the purpose of the classwork assignment.   They will receive one grade lower to ensure that classwork is completed in class.  I understand there will be circumstances that may arise but maybe this will hold the children more accountable.  Thank you for your understanding. 

Students are able to bring home any text books as needed.  

Thursday will be a minimum day at 12:30.  There will be no extended care.  Please be sure your child is picked up promptly.
