Attendance
Your childs attendance is important. It is difficult for a
student to catch up once they have missed foundational
instruction. The next three weeks in December will also
include various assessments used for the January report
cards, and the next Discovery test (district tests).
Remember notes to excuse any tardies or absences.
Important:
1. The class needs tissue box donations.
2. Let me know if you have holiday concerns.
(If your child does not celebrate Christmas, etc.)
