Greetings 1A Families,
Winter dress code has begun! Pants must be worn instead of shorts. If girls would like to wear a skirt or dress, they must wear white, navy or black knee-high socks or tights. If your child would like to wear a sweater indoors, it must be a school sweater. Long sleeve uniform shirts are available. Please do not pair long sleeve shirts underneath school polos. Thank you!
In celebration of the season, we will have a class book exchange during our class celebration on Wednesday, the 18th. If your child would like to participate, please have them bring a new or gently used wrapped book to class.
Have a wonderful week!
