Notices

□       There is no school Wednesday, November 25^th through Friday, November 27^th for Thanksgiving Break.  Enjoy you vacation!

□       For the month of November we (as a school) have been focusing on teaching the character trait of respect.  Each grade level addresses respect in a manner that is appropriate for their students.  In kindergarten we discuss respect for others, respect for our bodies, respect for personal space, and respect for those with special needs. 

□       Please try to complete the respect page that is in the table tents that were sent home at the beginning of the school year with your child.
