Week Before Break

We would love to have you and your family join us for The Pirates of Penzance Junior on April 8th and 9th! 


Things are moving way to fast for my liking.  Our 3rd Graders are going to be 4th Graders before I’m ready.  We still have a lot to accomplish and will need all the student’s doing their best.

This quarter we will be fine tuning our writing skills, solidifying our reading skills and continuing to learn more math concepts while reviewing the ones we have already learned.  We will also be starting a fun play that we’ll perform in May. 

This week we have Conferences on Thursday.  I would love to meet with as many parents as possible.  Please e-mail me if you would like to come visit about the progress of your student.  I currently have appointments available between 3:30 to 5:30.  Please click here to access the schedule and sign up: 

Parent Teach Conferences

Friday is a $1 dress down day, and a short day. 

In case you missed the announcement, we are able to offer the premium version of Prodigygame.org for $12.00 a year.  All those who would like to participate need to fill out the form that was sent home with your child and turn it in at the office with the $12.00 fee.

ATTENTION!!!!!  Third Grade won the Box Top and Campbell Soup Collection.  We are donating the playground equipment to another grade and we’re keeping the FREE DRESS DOWN DAY!  Please watch for the dress down date.  We will announce it to the kids and either send home a note or post it on the blog.  It will most likely be after Spring Break.

Campbell Soup is discontinuing their Labels for Education Program (So very sad about this!)  They will accept labels for the rest of the school year.  With this in mind, if you have cases of soup and would love for the school to benefit from their labels, feel free to use an exacto knife, or just the tip of your scissors, and cut off  the part of the label that has the barcode on it.
