Reminder to the 4th grade parents to complete the DTE Home Energy Worksheet and return it to school as soon as possible.

Students who have received a “4” or “3” on their Math Quiz/Test have the option of doing test corrections to improve their scores.  Directions will be sent home attached to your child’s quiz/test.  It is the child’s responsibility to turn these items in to the teacher.

Please remember to turn in your Weekly Reading Logs every MONDAY.  There are copies on my blog if your child loses theirs throughout the week.  I will no longer accept hand written forms.  Any student who does not return their log on Monday will have to walk the track during recess.

Reminder that this Wednesday, October 18th is a Late Start day.  The first bell will ring at 9:35 a.m.

Reminder that children should not be dropped off earlier than 8:25 in the morning.  Students must go directly to their line on the playground with no playing on the playground.

Thank you to the families that have signed up for treats for our Halloween party.  All of our slots have been filled.  If you have not signed up, please do NOT send in extra treats as we will have too much to eat and things may end up being thrown away.  You can sign up for a future party if you’d like to.

Reminder that PICTURE DAY is tomorrow (Tuesday).  If you’ve lost your order form, there are extras in the office.
