Dear Parents,

It’s hard to believe we have already arrived at the end of the second quarter of school!  Below you will find a few reminders as we venture towards the second half of the school year.

Thank you for your partnership in educating children.  We appreciate your efforts and support!  Thank you.

Second Quarter Conclusion
The second quarter is coming to an end at the end of next week.  Look for online report cards to be ready for viewing and sign by January 25, 2019. Skyward is a good resource to check in on occasion during the quarter to see how your student or students are performing throughout the quarter.

Morning Drop Off
Please remember when the temperature feels below zero the students will be let in the building starting at 7:35 a.m. when the doors unlock.  If they enter before this time by pushing the button, they are expected to sign into before school care.  Thank you for helping keep everyone safe and respecting the teachers morning.  

Yearbook Orders – due February 14th
Yearbook order forms should have come home in your child’s/children’s backpacks. They are due back by February 14, 2019.  Please contact your child’s/children’s teacher if you need a replacement form.

God Bless,
Steven Kelnhofer
