Good afternoon!
I am pleased to announce that school has indeed begun and our first day went off without a hitch! As the school year progresses you can expect to here from me about once a week. I provide updates about in-class activities and topics, as well as information about field trips and school-wide events.
If you join us at Back to School Night tomorrow I will present sign-ups for October conferences and this year's field trips.
