We have experienced some changes in staffing and have some changes in staffing and have some new faces in the building. We are very excited to announce our new Intermediate I Teachers, Ms. Meagan and Ms. Brooke! For any families that have recently started with us, you can look forward to your child’s end of the month folder going home on the last day of September, containing some of your child’s fantastic work from this month.
As summer officially comes to an end and fall begins, schedules tend to become very busy! As always, we encourage open lines of communication. Please be sure to check your child’s cubby box as well as your email and Links 2 Home for any important announcements or reminders. If you have any questions about anything happening around the school, please stop by the office or give us a call.
Until next month,
Vikki & Tracy
