November 11 - 15, 2013

I hope you had a wonderful Veterans Day and that you remembered to "THANK A VETERAN!"

NEWS FOR PARENTS:  

Please remember to send written notes for every absence.  Also remember that the office will NOT accept phone calls for car/bus changes after 2:00 p.m.  You must send a written note for car/bus changes with your child in the morning.  EMAIL is NOT a reliable way to communicate with us, as teachers do not check email all day long.  If a substitute is in the room, he or she will not get the message.  Thank you so much for your help!
