Please make sure your PEPs are up to date and you are implementing all needed interventions in your class with your students.

• Communication with Parents is Key, parents need to be informed. Thank you everyone for keeping up with your communication logs. Remember there should be a variety of parent contacts, phone, email, in-person, etc.....

Happy Wednesday!!

It's A Brand New Day!

• Reminder that Tomorrow will be our fun matching hearts activity. You will find a ziplock bag in your mailboxes in the morning. Each bag will contain a poem, a safety pin and 1/2 of a heart. Wear your heart tomorrow and try to find the staff member that has your "other half". Once you do, come to the office for a "sweet treat". I hope everyone has a very Happy Valentine's Day!!!!!  Thanks everyone for the fancy scissors. I had fun making the hearts.  It takes not just two but a team to do what we do everyday!

Please let 4/5th grade students know how very proud we were of their behavior last Friday at the Zumbatomic Event. We believe only 4 total students out of over 1100 did not finish. When that is certified, we will have surely broken the record.
