Notes from the Teacher:


- An AR Home Connect note was sent home last Friday.  It contained important information about how to sign up for AR communications.  Parents can see the progress the students are making. 

-There is still time to sign up for the Seesaw app if you have not signed up yet.  It’s a fun way to see things your child is doing at school.  The children love it!  J
