Announcements & Events

Thank you tremendously for your compassion and support when I needed to postpone last week's Back to School Night's presentation. Thankfully, I am finally starting to feel human again and have been fever-free for 24 hours (whoo hoo for small victories!) Hugs, Bex.
Please see details below about the reschedule:

4th Grade Back to School Night: Thursday (10/6) 6:15-7:00: This is a great opportunity to learn about what will happen in fourth grade this year. We will talk about class schedule/structures, expeditions, curriculum, homework, and any other question you might have. Please note this is a PARENT ONLY EVENT, no students please.
If you cannot attend this event for any reason, I will send home a packet with your fourth grader on Friday 10/7. This packet will include handouts about the year, as well as a couple of IMPORTANT PARENT SURVEYS, please plan to have your fourth grader turn those into me ASAP
