Greetings Parents/Guardians,
We are continuing to work with the students on being responsible. Please help us reinforce this
behavior by making sure that they have all the supplies for class that they need. Pencils and
notebooks should be taken to each class daily, along with their agenda books. We do not want to
miss or interrupt any instructional time during the day.
