Dear Students and Families,

It’s almost time to say “Welcome Back!”  We hope you have had a great summer.  It was one of the best summers I can remember, with lots of sunshine and hot weather;  it’s how I remember summers as a kid!  Take time to enjoy it before you have to set that alarm clock again!

Just a few reminders before school starts again:

• Make sure you have your monthly academic year planner (July 2016-June 2017) when you return to school.  They are available now at Target, Meijers, Walmart, etc.   The 8×11 size is best!
• Make sure to bring a cold lunch every day beginning September 7th – unfortunately we cannot heat lunches in the microwave
• Students who do not ride the bus should be dropped off at 8 a.m., and picked up by 2:45 p.m.
• Please be sure to walk your son/daughter to the classroom if they will be coming in late, and call if you will be picking them up early
• Finally, PLEASE make an appointment if you need to meet with us.  We are happy to met with you and we want to work together.  We can arrange our schedules to accommodate most requests, but unannounced visits take time away from the students and our other responsibilities.

We are looking forward to seeing everyone’s smiling faces in a few weeks, but until then, make sure you enjoy what’s left of summer.  Oh and remember, shorts and t-shirts are fine until we start work groups, which will probably be late September.  See you soon!
