The First Grade classes all enjoyed a wonderful day at the Timbavati Wildlife Park and Zoo last week. Special thanks to our parent volunteers who were able to join us as chaperones. These kind of field trips couldn't take place without volunteers! Thanks so much!

Please be sure to check your child's red Friday Folder. Our Spring field trip parent letter and permission slip are coming home today! Please sign and return your child's permission slip by the due date. Thanks!

Next week will be the beginning of our district wide PALS end of year assessments that will last approximately 2 weeks. Many of these assessments will need to be completed individually with the students and due to length of each assessment, guided reading books may not be sent home as often during this assessment period. Thanks for understanding!
