NEWS FOR PARENTS!

Students are bringing home one reading passage every Monday in the Apple Binder.  This passage will be practiced at home and signed (initials) at the bottom every night.  Set a timer for one minute, and let your child read to you.  Also let him/her read the entire passage for you during the week.  I will be checking every Friday! :)

Please send $25 and the completed field trip form for "A Christmas Carol" by Tuesday, September 30th.  We already have three parents signed up as chaperones, so please keep this in mind. 


FALL PICTURES~~~~ September 17th :)


Prime Time Reading (for those already signed up) is Tuesday, September 9th from 5:30 to 7:00 p.m.


Our PE Department will be selling JUICE FLAVORED shaved ice this year.  The scheduled dates are Tuesday, September 16, and on October 2.  Please send $1.50 CASH at least two days ahead.  Make SURE you send exact change in an envelope or zip bag with your child's name and homeroom teacher clearly identified. The money raised will be used to purchase additional PE and playground equipment.  Thank you so much!


Remember to put your child’s name, phone number, “E. Boyer” and lunch number on checks. 

Put ALL MONEY in a zip bag or envelope telling what it is for.  Children do not remember.
