Today is day 6 on the specials calendar.
There is a voluntary sign up sheet for food for Mrs. Sawyer. If you would like to donate something, please bring to school by Friday.
K registration-Tomorrow
Staff meeting-March 2-very important.
Interim Reports need to go out March 3.
All choice card requests need to be sent to office as soon as possible.
I am going to recognize students in all grades that have made all 4's and straight A's in the second quarter. I had Shannon and Sabina research by reviewing report cards. For a school our size, the number was surprisingly low but I think the rigor in our classrooms explains this. Keep on pushing and supporting our students to do their best.
