Greetings 5thgrade parents and students! Please remember to review and sign your child's agenda daily. Students who do not finish in-class assignments will have to complete them at home and return them by the next school day.
This Friday, May 11th, is our last Fun Friday of the school year. Please be sure your child returns all completed assignments by Thursday.
Our On-Campus Event is on Friday, May 18th. We’ll be presenting a Civil War Simulation to 2ndgrade students.
Please turn in the Student Health and Information form as soon as possible.
