Week April 14-18

Hope everyone is having a good weekend.  

As you probably noticed, your child has brought home quite a few newsletters.  

Blue Newsletter (Little Mermaid Musical):   It has all the important dates and information.  Please read it over and return the bottom part once you have completed it. 

Green Newsletter (Social Studies):  Your child is asked to do a research project based on their family history and present their information.

Spelling Homework:  I have sent your child's recent spelling test home.  Please sign and have your child return it to Mr. Jager.  My reason for doing this is to let parents see their students work and marks.

School Work:  Every so often I send work home for students to keep.  

**Also, if you have not returned your child's report card (envelope and front cover).  Please do so as soon as possible.  Please make sure they are signed.  Thank-you!
