We know it's going to be hot the first part of this week. Please be sure your child has a water bottle in order to keep hydrated. As you know we do not have air conditioning in most of our building. We will do what we can to keep cool. I have a couple of fans and we keep most of the lights off to feel cooler. Hopefully this will help us get through this short heat wave.

Reading class - All students will be starting with their reading teacher on Monday. On Friday the students were told which class they would go to. Your child should have a just right book to read every day. They should also be reading for 30 minutes every night. Every child has the opportunity to become a better reader and one way this is accomplished is by continuing to read daily.

Camp packets - You should have received the camp information packet. Please fill out all of the paperwork and return it by Friday, September 29th. If you can get it in sooner, that would be great! Check to be sure that you have filled out both sides of any papers that are double sided. Be sure you and your child have signed everywhere that is necessary. Let us know if you have any questions regarding camp.

Picture Day! Wednesday, September 27 is Picture Day. All students will have their picture taken, at least for the yearbook. Please be sure to fill out the order form or order online before Wednesday.

Early release day - Wednesday at 1:29pm - This is our first early release day. Your child will eat lunch at his or her regular lunch time. There is no child care on early release day afternoons.

Conferences - If you have not done so, please send in the paper letting me know when you can attend a conference next month. If none of the available times work for you, let me know and we will work something out.

Book Orders - Book orders were passed out on Friday. If your child would like to order books, please order online or send in to me by Friday, September 29th.

Thank you! Thanks to all of the families who have sent in snacks and disinfectant wipes. The students have been going through the snacks pretty quickly. If your child is able to pack a snack to eat in the afternoon, please remind them to do so.
