Updates

First day of FSA Reading test is officially done. The second session will be tomorrow morning at 9 a.m. Please keep encouraging your student.

Lice situation: after long school breaks we normally see students come back with lice from slumber parties, movie theaters, etc. We did have some lice cases today so if your student has lice please keep them home until they are treated and the lice is gone. If they are testing tomorrow and were sent home today they can come and test from 9 a.m.- 11:30 a.m. tomorrow, but they can't stay the entire day. We will no longer be bringing back packs in the Orcas class because that seemed to help previously. Please send your student with a plastic bag instead. Thank you for all your cooperation!
