Happy Valentine's Day!

Valentine's Day
Don't forget to keep those Valentine's coming in tomorrow or Thursday if you haven't already done so!

E-Learning Day
Don't forget we DO NOT have school Monday due to President's Day.  However, due to the make up day from November, Monday will be an E-Learning day.  Don't forget to have your child complete the assignments and click "mark as done" to have them counted present for the school day.  I am sending home another copy of the e-learning assignments in folders TOMORROW for your reference.  If for any reason you have trouble with google classroom, you can sign each box on the page as your child completes the work and return to school.  Please let me know if you have questions!
