Update to supply list

Dear parents,

There has been a revision made to the supply list. There has been a change in the vocabulary notebooks. Instead of using one vocabulary notebook for all three teachers , there will be one vocabulary notebook per teacher. There will not be a weekly vocabulary test including all three teachers vocabulary words. Instead each teacher will have separate words for each subject and grade and these will be tested within subject based quizzes. More information about this change will be discusses during the parent meeting on Tuesday, September 4, 2012 at 6pm.


See you then !

Mrs.Bagley
