REGISTRATION PACKETS for the 2019-20
school year were in last week’s folder. Please complete & return these as
soon as possible – the sooner the better! If
your completed packet is returned by Wednesday, April 24 (when
we come back from Easter break), your child will receive a bonus dress down pass (or a sweet treat for preschoolers).
SEND IN THE CANDY-FILLED EGGS! We will have our annual Easter Egg Hunt this Wednesday, April 17th,
before we break for the Holy Days and Easter. We are asking that you please
send in one dozen candy filled eggs to your child’s classroom (no peanut
butter, nothing that melts easily) This would be for grades PK-6th.
Also, you may remember the 7/8th graders with a treat, since they will
be hiding the eggs for everyone else, and won’t have a hunt of their own!
PLEASE NOTE: We have
added this Wed., 4/17, as a DRESS DOWN IN PASTELS DAY in
anticipation of Easter.
NO SCHOOL – Easter Break – 4-18-19-4-23-19. School will resume on Wed., April
24th.
