Dear Parents and Guardians,

Welcome back to school! I hope everyone had blessed Easter and a safe and relaxing vacation. We are unbelievably in the homestretch to the end of the school year. How blessed we are to be together! Let’s get right to it…

A few general reminders/information:

• As a reminder, due to gatherings and travel over the vacation, we are allowing anyone to be remote any or all of the days from April 12-16. If you chose this for your family, you should have notified your child’s homeroom teacher on Friday, April 9. Please be sure all students participating in remote learning are doing so appropriately. We expect everyone (who is not fully remote for the year/trimester) to return by Monday, April 19. Thank you for your cooperation.
• LAST CALL for Enrichment! As of right now, we do not have enough students for a few of the classes. The only class DEFINITELY on the schedule is Artists Workshop. If you are still interested, PLEASE send your information in TOMORROW Attn: Mrs. Graham/Enrichment. The information is attached below.
