Dear Families,
It is hard to believe this is our last week before Christmas Break. I have
listed the testing schedule below. All students have been given study guides
to help them prepare for the tests.
Our Christmas party is scheduled for Thursday afternoon. Ms. Tara Meeks
is working on the planning of this if you are interested in helping. If you
have not yet sent items for the students' gift bags and would like to, please
do so no later than Wednesday.
We will dismiss at 11:30 on Friday! I hope everyone has a wonderful and
safe holiday and I look forward to seeing the students back on Wednesday,
January 6th.
