Newsletter Updates for Thursday, 10/4

Mid-Terms on Monday
We are officially half way through the first quarter. Yes, already. On Monday mid-terms will come home with the fourth graders. This is not an official grade report. It is simply an update as to where your child is. Take time to discuss where and how improvement can happen, and don't forget to acknowledge where success is happening as well. Please send the signature form back as soon as possible.

School Pictures on Tuesday
Order forms went home earlier this week for school pictures. Remember, seperate checks are needed for individual packages and the panoramic all-school photo.
