Important Change

Students & Parents,

Due to the forecast of thunderstorms on Thursday, we have decided to move the Holiday World Field trip to Monday, May 19th.  We understand that most of you had to take off time from work to chaperone.  Please let us know whether or not you will still attend.

Thanks for your understanding.

Please note that those who cannot attend will still be able to use your ticket through June 15, 2008. 

Chaperone tickets and information went home today.   Thank you!!!

                            Coach Books to practice and review the skills covered on the TCAP test. We will also

                            be using the language practice book.

                            We will be spending the most time on those skills that the pretest indicated were most

                            difficult for the students.

                  his / her level and goal for this grading period. 

                 ***  Accelerated Reader - Your child should be reading at least
