Kindergarten Corner

January 20-24, 2014
Dear Parents,
It’s hard to believe that we are coming down to the last few days of the second nine weeks. We will be assessing for report cards, as well as the nine weeks benchmark tests in Math, Science and Social Studies. We will also conduct our running records testing to see how the children have progressed in their reading. Please make sure your child gets a good night’s sleep and has a good breakfast each morning if they eat breakfast at home.
Please be reminded that we do not have school on Monday, January 20th in observance of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.’s birthday. We will dismiss at 1:00pm on Friday, January 24th for the end of the nine weeks. We will not have school on Monday, January 27th as it is a teacher workday. Thanks!
Thanks and take care!
