Week 9 Update

5th Grade Weekly Update

Dear Parents,

We are more than halfway through October now so the end of the first quarter is fast approaching.    With time seeming to fly due to all of the fun that we are having and all that we are accomplishing, it will be 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. We still have a little less than a month left until then, but I hope that you will look ahead and ensure that you will be able to attend the meeting.
