Permission slips went
home last week, if you lost yours please let me know and I can send home another
one. The cost per student and adult
chaperones is $4.00. I am willing to
take up to ten chaperones so if you would like to go please let me know ASAP
and I will pencil you in. Remember you
need have cleared a background check to attend and chaperone school
field trips. If you haven’t filled it out
please let me know and I’ll get you one from the office.
Box Tops
We
are nearing the end of the year and the end of our collecting time for Box
Tops. If you have any and you would like
to donate them, please send them as soon as you can. We really appreciate
all donations as the money goes to helping out our school.
I included all
our final testing dates so hopefully you can try to get your little ones a good
night’s rest the days before their tests.
Thank you!
