HELLO
3rd Grade
Weekly Update, Families!
We had a great first week of school! Now that we're settling into our routines, it's time to jump into learning. This week, we'll begin diving into our curriculum and getting into our regular learning routine.
Test Days
Fridays are test days! Please make every effort to have your child at school every day, especially on Fridays, so they don't miss important instruction or assessments.
Picture Day
Tomorrow is Picture Day! Have your child practice their best smile. Please remember that students must be in school uniform for pictures. Any student who arrives out of uniform will be sent to the front office for a change of clothes.
