Book Bags

Here are a few reminders about the book bags…

  1.  No food, drinks or smoking around the books and bags.  These are shared books and many students need to use them so they need to always be in “like-new” condition.
  2. Books and bags must be brought to school EVERY DAY!  No book bag = No new books sent home
  3. Damaged or lost books and bags must be replaced.  Books cost an average of $5 each.  Please keep these in a safe place at all times.
  4. Have fun letting your child show you what they’ve learning in class!

Walk to School DAY

Tomorrow is WALK (or bike) to School Day. The goal of this day is to raise awareness and support health benefits of walking or biking to school. It’s a great way to start the day and get some exercise before starting school. Please consider walking your child to school tomorrow.
