Announcements:

As a part of our IB Curriculum and Humanities curriculum, I would like to order "Times News for Kids" for each student in our classroom. The cost per student is $5.00. This is a wonderful opportunity to keep up with current events and it compliments our reading instruction. The students will be able to keep these magazines after our completion in the class. If you so feel the desire to donate an extra $5.00 for a child in need, I would be so very grateful.

Please send in your $5.00 by August 30th.

*Students need their agenda's! Please purchase them from the office. The cost is $6.00.

*Meet and Greet forms are due, please turn them in.

*Classroom supplies from the supply list are still needed.

*Carpool ends at 3:30, please make arrangements to have your child picked up by 3:30 or he/she will be sent to Aftercare for an expense.

*The lockers will be distributed on Friday, locker rental fee is $5.00 and it will be refunded at the end of the school year with the return of the lock.
