I sent home a revised Special Helper list for the month of April today. My apologies but on the original list I sent home I did not account for the Easter long weekend.

A reminder that this Thursday is a half day. Students will be dismissed for the day at 12:30pm.

Tuesdays and Fridays are PE days and we will be starting gymnastics this week. Students will be in bare feet, but please ensure that he/she is wearing proper/comfortable clothing on these days. Thank you for your cooperation.

Don't forget to do your home reading every night. It is encouraged to take the same book home several nights in a row to practice fluency, especially at the higher levels. Please also ensure that your child brings his/her home reading book back to school everyday.

Please practice basic math facts on a regular basis.


Have a great evening!
