First Grade Weekly Update

Welcome to Advent-the time of waiting! It is a busy time of year with so many extra activities and excitement. As much as you can, it is important to keep normal bedtime routines.
Remember to sign the Report Cards envelope and return it to school empty.
Adopt-a-Family information was e-mailed before Thanksgiving. Thank you for your generous participation in this SPN tradition. Gifts should be returned by Friday, December 13.
Just a reminder: If you need to communicate a message to me during the school day (early pick up or send to share and care), it is best to call the office so they can let me know. I check e-mail before the start of the school day and after dismissal and may not get your message before dismissal. Thank you.
