  • Please make sure your child has a water bottle AND snack at school. I still have many without.

​

  • Remove papers from Take Home Folders daily. Make sure they return daily. Also, make sure you return the home reading pocket each day so we can log your child’s steps and exchange books.

​

  • Please make sure to send your child’s boots still if it is wet and muddy. Our playground can get very muddy after it rains. We try to get the kids out if it is not raining! Also make sure your child has shoes to change into so they do not have to track wetness and mud through our classroom and hallways.

​

  • We have begun end of the year testing! Please make sure your child is getting good rest and a healthy breakfast.
