Dear Families,
Happy Monday. I hope everyone had an enjoyable weekend. We had a quiet weekend which is always nice this time of the year. Michael is perfectly happy playing with his toys at home because he spends his weeks in the gym! And I am ready for spring after Saturday's great weather and a trip to the park!
· Measurement: Volume has been a struggle the last week. Look for more practice at home! And some students will need to come into TCB on Wednesday morning for some extra review.
· PSMS Little Mermaid : We are headed to PSMS tomorrow to see their production of the Little Mermaid. Please make sure you sign and return your child's permission slip by tomorrow! We leave at 9:15!
· Conferences: Conference schedule is now open. Head to School Center to sign up if you would like to meet!
· Early Release is TOMORROW!
