Week of January 8th

A very happy New Year to everyone!   I hope that you were all able to enjoy some rest, relaxation and outside time.  

While students transition back into the habit of being prepared and at their best for school I ask you to help support them with set aside homework times, healthy breakfasts and bedtimes that help them to be rested for their full days of learning.  

Thank you all for everything that you do at home to help your child to do their very best on their learning journey :)

Monday: Spelling #7 goes home
