Lost and Found
If a student is missing something, they must go check the lost and found by the end of this week (Friday, February 17th). All remaining items will be donated to a local charity.
Parents,
Today was our Valentine's exchange. Needless to say there was a lot of candy passed out. We requested that all candy be nut free. However, to be on the safe side we instructed all students several times NOT to eat ANY sweets received until their parents checked their candy in the event the candy contained something they were allergic to. Please check your child's sweets before they consume it.

Good Afternoon Parents,
Here are a couple of reminders:
Here are a couple of reminders:
- The ABC's of the American Revolution projects N-Z are due tomorrow! This is a Social Studies grade.
- Spelling Test tomorrow.
- If students did not complete the Science classwork (answering questions #1-8 on p. 184 in their textbook), they are to complete it as homework.
- Please check to see that your child has in fact completed his/her homework before signing off on it. We are having a Light Vocabulary Quiz tomorrow and as a part of homework for the past week and a half has been to study this vocabulary. Unfortunately, today, we've had students who said that they haven't studied at all. (This also pertains to their spelling words that are given out at the beginning of each week.)
- If a student is given a retake packet in order to retake a test, the entire packet must be turned in by the date specified. If we do not have both a parent signature and completed practice work, a retake test will not be given.
Thank you for all of your continued support,
Mrs. Rice and Mrs. Wallace
