Please check with your child to see if they need supplies!
We know that sometime kids forget to tell their parents that they may need supplies. Please double check with your child to see what supplies they may need. We are noticing that students are coming to class without supplies, pencils. We are trying to supply pencils, however, it can be a challenge.
