Announcements
Woohoo, it’s the weekend! Let’s take time this weekend to relax our brains and enjoy the weather! I have provided you and your child with suggested weekend activities if you are looking for something to do. Before we start our activities, please see these announcements:
Kindergarten/Young 5’s PowerPoint
At 8:15 this morning, I will send you all a PowerPoint on Remind regarding the transition from GSRP preschool to Kindergarten/Young 5’s. Please take time to read it this weekend. When Mrs. Askar and I call next week, we can answer any questions you may have.
Student Material Distribution
On Monday, June 1 from 11:00 AM-3:00 PM, the Salina staff will be distributing student materials left at Salina during the school closure. Families will drive up, tell the staff the name(s) of the student(s), and the staff will put the materials in the families’ cars.
If you have any books from the school library, please return them on this day.
If you have a Chromebook, please keep it at your house until the fall.
