Welcome Back!!

Welcome Back!  I hope you all had a great Christmas!  Happy New Year!

Art Club
We had 10 students in our class that were chosen for the 2nd grade Art Club. That club will meet each Thursday in January.  Please let me know if your child will NOT be participating, otherwise I will send them to the art room on Thursdays this month.  Pick up time is 3:15.

E-Learning Days
Just a reminder that now that second semester has started, should we have any inclement weather, we will be having an e-learning day (up to 4 days).  I am sending home a help sheet today in your child's folder.  Please keep this in a safe place at home so you can refer to it should we have any days.

Report cards for the 2nd 9 weeks and winter NWEA testing will be coming home on Friday.  Please look them over and contact me if you have any questions or concerns.
