- At the beginning of the school year students were asked to have three folders. One for reading, one for social studies ( which stay in class to store their signed returned test and other classwork), and one for homework( for students to use to bring home test papers to be signed and homework). Some students don't have folders and therefore papers are not being brought home to sign or brought back to class. I will check that students have all these folders , if they do not I will not send home test papers for those students.
- Students are collecting can food to donate to those who are not as fortunate as others. Please send your child to school with can food , if possible.
