Next Week:
Two School Days


The cold weather is here.  Please remember we go outside daily whenever possible, so warmer clothes are needed.  When your child wears boots to school (due to rain or snow), please have a pair of shoes available (no slippers please). The boots will stay in your child's locker and clean shoes will help keep our carpet and classroom floor dry.  If you have an extra pair of sneakers they can stay in your child's locker rather than travel back and forth daily.  It is up to your family.
