Dear Parents/Guardians,
Fortunately, we have a pretty “normal” week ahead of us. I’ve added a few important dates to the list below. Now that the school year is winding down I wanted to let you know that we will only be going to the school library to check out books 2 more times this year. The book fair is coming the first week of May and then it is closed for inventory for the remainder of the year. There are many e-books now available through our school library that your child is able to access in addition to the hard copy books that they check out each week. Your child should know how to access them, but I can assist if he/she forgot. Please also remember that our 21st Century (CCLC) program has ended for the year so all students should be arriving at school no earlier than 8:30 am and be picked up (or get on the bus) no later than 3:45pm. Please be sure that your child knows how he/she is getting home. Have a great week!
Upcoming Events:
Thursday, April 26th-Lobo Closet Open 3:45-5pm
Friday, April 27th-Spring Recess Day (No School)
Thursday, May 3rd-Science Fair (Book Fair will be open and Kona Ice will be there too!)
Thanks,
Mrs. Flores
