Students that have been absent for any portion of their test will be making them up this week.
Report cards were sent home on Friday. Please be sure to sign the envelope for the second trimester, and return the envelope. This ensures that you have received the report card.
Here are some important upcoming events:
Wednesday - April 3rd is an early dismissal day. Students will be dismissed at 11:15.
Thursday - April 4th is the K-4 trip to the Montshire Museum. The bus will depart by 8:15 am. Students will be back for regular dismissal.
Monday - April 8th - there is NO SCHOOL - A pair of Solar Eclipse glasses will be sent home with each student prior to this event.
Tuesday - April 9th is the 5-7 trip to the Montshire Museum. The bus will depart by 8:15 am. Students will be back for regular dismissal.
Please mark your calendars for April 23rd. We are currently planning another fun filled family event for that evening. More information will be sent home as we finalize the plans.
I hope you all have a wonderful Easter Sunday.
As always, please let me know if you have any questions or concerns.

After School Program News
It's finally starting to feel a little more like spring and the after school program is able to be outside a bit more! We are offering many new classes this session. The Recycled Crafts projects help our students learn to find purpose in the materials around them. Outdoor Crafts/Exploring gives our students a chance to explore, discover new things, strengthen fine motor and gross skills, and be more active. Basketball provides the students with sportsmanship skills and basketball skills. Garden allows for students to learn about plants and how they grow through hands-on projects. Lastly, we have Theater which helps students improve their communication skills and experience different perspectives.
