Corrections: Kindergarten will dismiss at 3:25. There is a staggered dismissal to try and cut down on traffic in the hallways and outside.

If you have not already, please take time to fill out the ASQ questionnaire given to you at Homeroom Huddles by September 12th. Thank you so much! 

Each quarter, students will have a prayer to learn. This quarter, it is The Sign of the Cross. When your child is able to recite the prayer and genuflect correctly please sign and return the prayer sheet. Also, a list of skills assessed through the first quarter will be sent home in the next few days. Please refer to this list when you are working with your child at home.  

Students will be assessed over their phone number this month.  Please practice the phone number you would like your child to know.  If it is different than the number in the school directory, please send me an email with the number you would like them to be assessed on.
