As we are inquiring into Where We Are in Place and Time and how relationships change, we are making real life connections as we say good bye and see you soon to many of our friends and teachers. Please do not enter the hallways until 3:35 as the noise disrupts learning and the hallways get too crowded and students are unable to access their belongings in lockers. Please wait outside the corridors until dismissal time. This means students will be picked up from their classes (if not riding the bus). “Dear Families: Tomorrow, Monday, we will be moving to indoor dismissal. I encourage you to read with your child as much as possible over the summer! Keeping a writing journal or playing on sumdog a few times a week are also good ideas so your child can practice writing and math over the summer as well! The importance of reading does not end when the school year ends. All year we stress the importance of daily reading, both in class and at home.

After two months of summer break, we often notice that children lose some of the skills they worked so hard to gain throughout the school year. Though school is wrapping up and we are all feeling the “pull” towards summer, I’d like to remind you how important it is for your child to continue to read over the summer. Students should be dropped off in the gym by 8:15 each morning and picked up at 1:30 in the classroom. Please email me so that we can set a time.Īs a reminder, Ramadan hours are in effect. If you would like to schedule a meeting with me to discuss the June report. If you have any questions about your child's report, please let me know. Final reports will be sent home on Thursday afternoon. It's been a wonderful year with a lot of learning and playing. It''s hard to believe that it's our last week of school together. I wish you all an enjoyable and relaxing summer! Please be aware that as of Saturday, June 27th the Weebly page will no longer be active.
