October

The October Volunteer Schedule and Reading Calendar has been posted.

Red HOT Folder!

  If your child brings home his/her Red HOT folder, it means he/she has work that needs to be completed and returned the next day. I always try to give students plenty of time to complete their work at school but sometimes it is necessary to finish at home and return. If you have any questions about the work or folder, please contact me right away! Thank you for your support! Melissa
