FYI:
Due to the short week, there are only 15 spelling words and there will be no practice test this week.

Parent /teacher conferences are this week. If you have returned the paper for this, I sent a confirmation home before vacation. For those who did not return an appointment paper and need to meet with me, there are still times available on Thursday. Please call for availability.

Please be on time for your conference. If you arrive late or not for your appointment time, you may have to wait because other parents also have a conference scheduled. Please call the office if you are confused on your appointment time or need to cancel.

There are NO appointments scheduled for Tuesday, March 29 due to a mandatory AIMS metting.



Sincerely,
Beth Hernandez
