Dear Parents,
The end of the quarter is Thurs, Mar. 11th. No school for students this Friday, Mar. 12th. We're pushing to keep up study habits and conduct! All students should be using agendas daily.


Thanks to all parents who chaperoned on our field trip. We had a good time.


We are urging you all to fill out your census information as soon as you receive it. This affects our area's federal funding for education!!!


Step 1 for Science project (Simple Machines) is due this Tuesday.


Reading Book Reports for the 4th Grading Period will not be due until April 20th. This is mandatory for a Reading Grade. Students, make sure that you choose one that you have not presented yet!


Hope everyone has a wonderful week!
