Happy April & Warmer temps (hopefully soon)!

Thank you families for joining us for 3rd quarter conferences. We had a wonderful turn out and enjoyed meeting with you. Thank you to the families who donated meals for the staff- it was greatly appreciated and very delicious! If you missed conferences, please try to reschedule with your child’s teacher. 3rd quarter report cards were handed out- if you did not receive one, please watch for him to come home with your child.

This week we will start the MCA Reading tests for grades 3rd-8th. Please ensure your child(ren) are getting a good nights rest, eating a healthy breakfast and are prepared for testing. Join us in cheering them on and encouraging them to try their best!

We will continue to have tutoring and Makerspace on Tuesday & Thursday this week. This week is Severe Weather Awareness week. We will talk about preparing for severe weather and practice a tornado drill on Thursday. Please talk to your families about severe weather & tornado procedures at your home.

As always, contact me if you have any questions or concerns.

Kind Regards,

Mrs. Clobes
