Fourth and fifth grade ELA testing is complete.
I have had several parents ask about our shorts policy. Students are permitted to wear shorts year round. However, we do have groups that go to recess as early as 10 a.m., so we ask that students plan accordingly.
I want to remind parents that transportation changes need to be made by 1:45 p.m. It is a really busy time for our office at the end of the day and it is challenging to relay the messages. Thank you for understanding.
Have a great week.
