Dates
& Reminders v Due to the fact that assignment books were simply a repeat of the information on the
newsletter, we have decided to discontinue
use of these books. Please continue
to check your child’s homework pocket and newsletter daily for any homework
due. v Every student needs to bring a personal pencil sharpener (with cover)
to school each day. Also, please
help your child repack their pencil bag each night after they complete
homework. We are having several
students come back to school without pencils & erasers.
