Counselor Connection: Please check out our counselor connection newsletter from Ms. Jeanne. It can be found here. Limited spots are available for the upcoming Family Success Series. Registration is required.
Snacks: Please send a snack each day labeled with your child's name. Disposable bags are preferred for snacks. If you need to send a container, please make sure your child is able to open it independently. Please also avoid sending snacks that require utensils, such as a fork or spoon. Thank you for helping us make snack time easy and enjoyable for everyone!
Labels: Please label all items sent to school including backpacks, lunch boxes, snacks and water bottles.
Library books: Please ensure your child brings back their library books on their class's designated library day, so they may check out a new book each week.
Thank you for your ongoing partnership and support!
