Important Information/ Reminders:
- Please remember if you decide to bring lunch for your scholar to please bring it to the front desk 30 minutes before our scheduled lunch time which is at 11:25, so we can have an accurate Lunch count.
- Whenever your Scholars Teacher sends home any document's, test's and or quizzes that require a parent signature please sign and return it to school the next day.
- It is important to always send a snack to school every day with your scholar so they can have a refresh for the day, and so they aren't feeling left out as well.
-Make sure you are also checking, reading any teacher comments and taking out any graded papers from their black folder because we will be sending stuff home once a week so you can see the beautiful work your scholar is doing here at school!
