It's a Busy Time of Year:

It is definitely a busy time of year! We continue to work hard in the 6th grade. As the holidays get closer, I try not to send home too much homework and give the students plenty of time to complete their work in class. Again, it is so important that children are at school. Thank you in your cooperation and help with making sure your child has enough sleep and comes to school ready to learn.
On Tuesday, December 14 we will be taking a field trip to the Moss Mansion. Admission is $1. Soon a permission slip will come home for you to sign and return. The fabulous PTA is paying for our bus! THANK YOU!
Just a reminder with all of the snow. Please have kids wear winter jackets, hats, gloves, boots, and even snow pants. It also is a good idea to bring extra socks and a baggie to put the wet ones in. Thanks!
