Week of January 9-13th

The students came back ready to learn from the winter break. I am pleased at the way they maintained their behavior while readjusting to the school schedule and routines.

We would like to welcome Ms. McCloud, who is in her final internship at USC, to our class beginning Monday. She will be with us daily and gradually take over various responsibilities in the class.

Friday, January 13th is an early dismissal day. We will dismiss at 11:30am. Please notify me if your child's transportation will change for that day. Monday, January 16th is a holiday in observance of Martin Luther King, Dr. Day. Classes will resume Tuesday, January 17th.

Career day is Friday, January 20, 2017. Please view the link, Career Day, for more information.
