Weeky Update

 Hi Parents!

Another busy week down! Seems like this year will be over before we know it! I have a couple of short reminders and updates to fill you in on. 

SOL Letters for Students- Parent Homework

Please make sure you return the SOL letters I sent home last week if you haven’t already. They are due this upcoming week. Please refer to the previous message posted below if you need more information

I would like the students to begin their day with some encouragement from those who mean the most to them- You! (and their siblings, grandparents, or other loved ones!) I would like to surprise them with a letter from you on their desk the morning of each test. I sent home a sealed manila envelope today with a detailed letter explaining what I need you to do and two sheets of paper for you to write on, decorate, glue pictures or quotes on. I have included three since we have three SOLS (one for each test). I would like to have all the letters back to me SEALED in the envelope by Wednesday, May 4th, so I can make sure that every child will have something special to read that morning. Please remember this is a surprise!!!
