4th Grade Notices:
As you already know, the 4th graders have the opportunity to attend the play "Peter Pan" next Thursday. For those that turned in their permission slip and $5 by today, they will be at the performance for a short portion of the day on Thursday. We do not need chaperones, and they do not need to do anything special for lunch.
Also, today you will be receiving a notice for a Technology Training night for parents of 4th grade students. It is planned for March 26th. The form would need to be returned ASAP to reserve your spot.
IOWA testing began this week for 3rd and 4th graders. We will continue our testing next week. Keep reminding the students to get plenty of rest and a good breakfast!
