Last Day of School – June 16, 2016

Just a reminder, we have a half day on Friday, November 6!  Hope everyone has a fantastic weekend!

Today, a letter will be sent home with several time slots available.  Parent-Teacher Conferences will be held on Thursday, November 12 from 4-7pm, Wednesday November 18 from 4-7pm, and finally Thursday November 19, 4-7pm.   Please indicate your 1st, 2nd, and 3rd choice on the schedule.   I look forward to meeting with you!  Thank you!

Good Evening All,

We have an upcoming field trip to the new Hype Center in Wayne on Tuesday, November 17!  Mr. Borg along with other staff will help the students be able to get into the water and swim!  Bus will arrive around 9:15am and pick up at Hype around 1:45pm.  I have sent home a letter asking if you would like to have your child participate in this event, if possible.  Water is a great therapy for individuals with disabilities; it is non weight-bearing, which means no weight is placed on the joints.  It also helps to improve strength and flexibility without causing pain!

Please send back the letter as soon as possible.  Thank you!
