Dear Parents,
Please be aware that this Friday there is 12:00 dismissal and that students are asked to dress in red to celebrate Valentine's Day. There will be no party but there will be a bake sale and students can bring in money in a small purse. Due to a teacher's absence this past Monday and mine on Tuesday, and rescheduling of the Interim test to Wednesday, it will be necessary to repeat many of last week's assignments which could not be completed. The ELA Weekly Quiz will need to be postponed until more material can be covered and notes given on the new Unit. All students were told on Friday to take home their Religion books and to prepare for a Religion quiz instead. Please see below:
