A note will be coming home Friday about costumes, but here is a heads-up:
1. Face painting is not permitted, so students' faces are recognizable.
2. Costumes may not mock another student, faculty member, race, religion or lifestyle preference.
3. Costume accessories that are deemed dangerous or similar to weaponry are not permitted.
4. Do not wear masks or any items that will impede your vision or identity.


If you have any questions/concerns, please do not hesitate to contact Ms. Whitaker.

Unit 1 math test Friday.  This test will be on everything we have covered so far.  Math fact practice will be coming home Monday-Thursday night.  Please make sure they are completed and returned the following day.  Math fluency assessments will happen throughout the week when I feel the children are ready; the assessments are not timed.  Please continue to encourage your child to practice their facts on Xtra Math.
