Mr. Hill has asked that you take a few minutes and respond to a technoloy survey on the following link:

• Now that the winter weather is here please remember to send your child with appropriate clothing for the weather. Jackets, snowpants, boots, mittens/gloves, and scarves will help keep your child comfortable when playing outside. All students are expected to go out for recess unless there are severe weather conditions. We do not have extra winter clothing at school that can be lent to your child. Also remember to send along their shoes. Winter snow boots are not comfortable or appropriate for the classroom. 

•  I would like to take this opportunity to wish everyone of you a very happy holiday season! Please enjoy the extra time you have with your child over the break. I ask that you continue to have them read and practice math facts over the break. Then when they return we can hit the ground running.

                                                                      Thank you.
