Dear Second Grade Families,
Hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving holiday and weekend. This week will be parent teacher conferences. Dismissal for students on December 4th-6th will be at 11:30 a.m. Children will receive their report cards on Tuesday. I look forward to our conference this week.
Here are a few reminders of activities this week as well as a little change with homework:
Flat People update: We are receiving mail almost daily. Ask your child if he/she has received mail. You may need to make a reminder phone call.
