“Make A Great Break” Reading Challenge: Back by Popular Demand

Students are encouraged to enjoy reading over Spring Break and may also complete an optional challenge in next week’s take home folders where they make, draw or build something they have read and then take a picture of their creation.  Students who return a photo by April 12th will be included in an upcoming Kings Glen after school MakerSpace celebration.

Talk to Your Child about Internet Safety

Guidance lessons this month in 4th, 5th, and 6th grades focused on responsible use of the internet and internet safety.

Many of our students use computers, tablets, and personal cell phones to access academic work, and it is increasingly becoming a part of their social communication. Please talk with your child about their use of technology and their “digital footprint.”
