Spirit Week starts today with “Baby it’s cold outside” and wear a winter hat and scarf.  Spirit Week continues this week with Tuesday: “Holiday Sweater Day”, Wednesday: “White Out”, Thursday: “Holiday Cheer”, and Friday: “Snowed In”.

Reminder that there is a Late Start this Wednesday, December 20th.  The first bell will ring at 9:35 a.m.

There will be no Reading Bag homework over the Holiday Break, however students are expected to continue reading at home every day.  They should also go onto Moby Max over the break and work on both Math and Reading (literature and informational).  The goal would be at least one hour per week in both subject areas.

School will be closed for the winter break from December 25-January 5.  School will reopen on Monday, January 8, 2018!
