Student Info:

Thank you so much to all of you who filled out the Student Information Form. If you have not had a chance to fill it out please complete as soon as you can: 

Student Information Form

iPads:

Each fourth grader should come to school with a fully charged iPad everyday. Please help your child form a routine of plugging this in each night. It is also a great idea to check for updates every so often. We have shown them where and how to do this, but are always here to help!

Snacks:

We will have a short, working snack around 9:30 each morning as we do not have lunch until 12:30. Snacks should be mess free and not require the use of utensils. The nurse/office will not be giving snacks / water bottles so please make sure your child has one each day.  Snacks may be purchased from the cafeteria if you child has money in their account. 

Due to allergies, please make sure that all in class snacks are completely peanut / tree nut free. (Peanut / tree nut products are okay for lunch.)
