Greetings Parents:
Hello again, I hope all is well! It certainly has been a very busy time of year. I have tried to provide a calendar of events for the remaining 6 weeks of school to help you and your child. As I stated in my previous email the tests and quiz dates will be tentative. I don’t foresee any reason to move any dates, but you never know. As always if you have any questions or concerns please don’t hesitate to ask.
Also, I wanted to let you know that I will continue to your child start out on red each morning, and try to work hard to get compliments to move his/her color back to green. Just a reminder the color order from worst to best is: red, purple, yellow, orange, blue, and green.
