Upcoming Events:
- May 9-13: Kindergarten End of Year Testing- No School for all half day kindergarten. We will use this week to meet with each student individually because a large portion of kindergarten end of year testing is done one on one. Each testing appointment will be 45 minutes long. The testing appointment sign up will be sent out later this week.
Reminders:
- Tuesday: Library books are due! Send take-home folders to school and review contents of folder when returned.
- The last day to check out new books from the library will be April 26th. If your student has had trouble consistently returning books they will start keeping their library book in the classroom in their chair pocket.
- Friday: Short day. Students are welcome to show their Quest pride by wearing their school spirit shirts (with uniform pants).
- To reinforce high frequency words, phonics and fluent reading, please keep reading decodable stories that are sent home each Tuesday.
- Your student needs to bring a water bottle every day.
