If you are keeping the Spring Pictures that came home last Thursday, please send in the money to school or pay online at mylifetouch.com.  All other packets should be returned to school if you are not purchasing them.

All library books are due to the Media Center today.  If your child still has a library book at home, please send it to school as soon as possible.

Third grade will continue the M-Step test this Wednesday and Thursday for Math.  Please make sure your child gets a good night’s sleep, eats a healthy breakfast, and comes to school on time.  Encourage your child to try their best on the test:)

All field trip permission slips and money are due by Thursday, June 4th.  If you are a parent who would like to chaperone, you MUST have an updated background check on file in the office at least 10 DAYS PRIOR TO THE TRIP!

Thank you to the families who have donated to our “Garden” themed raffle basket for the Snow School picnic.  Our basket is growing, but we’re still in need of more donations.  Please send any items for the raffle basket to school by the end of May.

Due to NWEA testing this week and M-Step testing the last 2 weeks in May, we will NOT  have any more Reading Bags for the rest of the year.  Students are still expected to read 15-20 minutes each night and fill in their Student Reading Logs.

We are looking for volunteers to help out with our school wide event of Field Day on Monday, May 18th.  Below is the link to sign up to help:
