*Update to reflect interview dates

Good afternoon dear parents, guardians and students!

A few key items:
-Library day is on Tuesday. I suggest that students bring their books on Monday or remember them Tuesday morning. Failure to return books to the library means that they cannot borrow any for that week or until the books are returned. Unfortunately, this does affect vocabulary growth and the ability to foster the love of reading.
-Please ensure your child is dressed appropriately for the weather. We are experiencing a cold snap and the mornings are quite chilly! Mittens or gloves, a hat and a warmer coat are highly encouraged.
