  1. From Mrs. Murovec

Parents / Guardians, a gentle reminder to ensure your student(s) are on time in the morning.  We are now in the cooler weather season, and as a result students take longer to take off their winter clothing and get ready for class.  Being at school on time for entry is critical to ensure students maximize instructional time.  When students arrive late, coupled with the extra time it takes to change out of their winter gear, it is disruptive to their learning.

  1. Special Announcement – from the students of Mrs. Krupicz, Mrs. Sanders and Mrs. Gillies
