PTO Winter Parties- Friday, February 9th
Thank you so much for your donation of items for the class Winter parties on Friday. Students are welcome to bring in Valentines to share with classmates on this day.
Quarter 3 Midterms
These grades will be sent home this week. Please make sure to take a look at your child’s grade report and communicate any concerns to your child’s teacher. This is a great time to remind you that you can always find up to date information about grades and attendance in Powerschool. It is important that every parent is able to access information from here. If you have not already set this up, please reach out to your child’s teacher and we can send home information to help you do this.
