     Your parent-teacher conference time came home in the Tuesday folder.  If your scheduled time doesn't work, call the office and we will set up a time that works for you.

     Family Fun Night was a big success once again.  All of the baskets were fantastic. A BIG THANKS to Nancy and Shelly for putting ours together.  It ROCKED!
​
     Your child is signed up for Xtra Math at school.  However, it would be very beneficial if they practiced at home.  Xtra Math helps with the fluency of multiplication and division.  I see many of the students still looking at a multiplication chart for help.  This is will make math very frustrating as most math skills we work on involve multiplication and multi-steps. If you need the sign up code sent home again, just send me an email.
