Welcome Back!!

We hope that everyone had a wonderful fall break! The year is going by quickly and we are getting ready to start our second nine weeks.  The official conference week will be October 17-21, and we will be sending more information soon on scheduling for that. Please remember that these are half days for students.

Our first field trip is scheduled for Monday October 10th. We will be visiting Safety Village. Permission slips will be going home this week, please return them as soon as possible.

Please remember to send in snacks with your child, as we have an early lunch time this year. Snacks should be healthy and nut free. Please no sweets.
