GRADE CARDS for 2nd quarter (K-8) are available online through your FACTS mgmt. portal. Please review, and then sign & return the slip, previously provided. As always, if you have any questions or concerns, please contact the classroom teacher.  Special class grades are not considered when determining honor roll. PLEASE NOTE – you should see an actual, traditional grade card, with teacher comments included. If you are only seeing a list of classes with a grade beside it, this is not the grade card. Please contact the office if you need assistance finding the actual grade card on the portal.

SHOW ME SUDZ: Mrs. Doerhoff has found a new distributor for the laundry detergent/soaps fundraiser, named Show Me Sudz, LLC. They can provide most of the same product as we previously sold, with minor changes. We will kick-off this campaign on March 28th, with materials coming home on Thursday, March 25th, and run it through April 11th, with orders/payments to be turned in Monday, April 12th. The product will be delivered one week later. Last time we did this fundraiser, we did have minor problems with getting product. Please reassure all that this is a different company than we used last time, and we feel confident that we will have a successful fundraiser. Thanks for your support!
