We have made it to the last week before Christmas! What a wonderful job everyone did on the Christmas production. It was nice to have such a big crowd for the first live production in the last couple of years.
Christmas Party
Friday, December 16th is our last school day before Christmas. It is a half day, We will be celebrating with a Christmas Party. Activities and games will be planned. Please feel free to bring a store bought snack to share with the class if you wish. Students are to be picked at NOON, so will not be eating lunch at school.
Wellness
Please be mindful to keep your child home if he/she is unwell. Sickness spreads so quickly, especially within the Elementary grades where coughing/sneezing into one’s arm is definitely not a mastered skill.
Cooler Temperatures
As we experience more winter-like temperatures and weather conditions, please remind your children to come prepared for the outdoors. Students are encouraged to have a warm hat and mittens in their backpacks every day and to come dressed in a warm jacket and pants. Snow pants and winter boots will also help your children stay warm and dry as we enjoy the winter weather and fun in the snow.
For students who arrive prior to 8:45 AM, please note that students will not be permitted to go inside the school to gather their winter gear. Please arrive dressed for the winter conditions.
Spelling this week:
We will not have spelling homework or a spelling test this week. There will be no formal check of homework, but please keep reading each night.

Dates to Remember:
