Veterans Day

Dear Families, 

  We are off to a great start in Quarter 2 of the school year. We hope you were able to connect with your child's teacher and schedule a conference to hear about your child's learning and growth. Your partnership is key to their continued success in the classroom. Progress reports will be sent home in Wednesday Folders this week. We ask that you review the contents, sign the envelope and return it to school with your child as soon as possible.

   We also wanted to take a moment to recognize all those who have served in our armed forces. We celebrate all our veterans and their contributions to our community. Happy Veterans Day! Thank you for all you do to keep us safe--we honor you on this special day!

Thank you,

Ms. Conroy, Mr. Aiello, Ms. Shin

Our Picture Retake Day is December 2. Students who missed the Fall Picture Day or are unsatisfied with their original pictures may come to the cafeteria that morning to retake their pictures. If you already purchased a picture package, please return the package with your child so they can give it to the photographer.
