GOING GREEN – AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE: Parents, we will not be sending out a paper version of our weekly newsletter this year. This first one, and hopefully only one, will be given to your children with the hope that it makes it into your hands. However, history has shown us that they usually end up at the bottom of the backpack, never to be seen again. You may pick up a paper version of any newsletter by coming into the school and asking the office staff to give you one. Grandparents can also pick one up in the plexiglass holders at the school entrance. All newsletters will be sent to you via RENWEB, so please keep your email address up to date.
