The Year Marches On...
March brings change—changes in the weather, changes in the season. The days begin to get longer, and everything starts to bloom with color again. This month, we end our second trimester and begin the final trimester of the school year. Memorial students have grown so much—not only in inches, but also in knowledge and friendships. March is a wonderful time to reflect and celebrate all of these accomplishments.
Report cards will be sent home on March 6th.
Please help set your child up for a successful day. Screen time before school is highly discouraged. Students often have difficulty transitioning into their day when they use screens before school, especially in the car line. Avoiding screens in the morning helps reduce unnecessary stress and strong emotions.
Please do not park in the staff parking lot during drop off. Many staff members arrive at 8:45 and are unable to park. Please use the carline.
We always send students outside wearing the outerwear they arrive at school with. As the weather warms, you may want to send your child in a sweatshirt or lightweight jacket. Shorts are discouraged until the weather is consistently warm.
Enjoy all the changes the new season brings!
