Good Friday is now a half a day of school to make up for some of our snow days.  We will dismiss at 11:35.

Due to Kindergarten Round-Up!

Remember Fridays, April 12^th & April 26^th – there will be no class for all kindergarteners!   All other grades will come to school that day. 

Show-N-Tell this Friday for Gg or Ww items!

Most of the snow has melted from the playground but it is very frozen and cold still outside.  You may want to send your kiddos to school with their snow pants just so they are warm out on the playground.  Hats, gloves, and boots are still highly recommended.

I sent home all of the kiddos extra change of clothes before break.  It would be a good idea to just keep it in their backpacks for the remainder of the year, in case of spills, slips, or accidents.  Thank you!

We only have 9 very fast weeks left of Kindergarten!  Wow! 

As the days get warmer and the kids stay up longer with the sunlight, please be diligent with bedtimes still into the spring time.  Once May hits, we will be having our end of the year testing and we want our little ones to truly shine! 

The end of the year is very busy with field trips, field day, & fun days, so be aware of the newsletters to sign up for volunteering.

We have had an amazing year, so let’s finish the year strong!
