*Kindergarten and Fourth Grade Celebrations: Kindergarten and Fourth Grade will hold virtual celebrations during the last two weeks of school in June. The celebrations will be held by class for Kindergarten and we are working on a way for all grade 4 to be together (virtually!). Details are forthcoming.

*Student information sheets for class lists were shared at our last "in person" BLC meeting. The sheets can be found here. I will begin to put together draft class lists to be shared with grade levels for input. I realize this process is different than previous years and I understand if you are unable to provide additional input with your current work load but appreciate your comments.

*Grade level leaders will be working with grade levels to create a "common" supply list for each grade level that can be shared with student report cards at the end of this school year. For example, Kindergarten students will have their report card and a first grade supply list mailed home. This will help families prepare for the following year. We will add a line that some teachers may request specific supplies at the start of the year in addition to those listed.
