Week 10 Update

5th Grade Weekly Update

Dear Parents, 

October approaches its end and our Fancy Dress Day will be held next Thursday, October 31st. This can only mean that our mid-semester break is approaching. Please note that there will be no school on Friday, November 1st  and Monday, November 4th.   

With time seeming to fly due to all of the fun that we are having and all that we are accomplishing, it will be the middle of November before we know it, so please keep in mind that our Parent-Teacher Conferences will be held in the afternoons and evenings from November 11th to 15th. I look forward to discussing your child’s progress with you then.
