News from the Principal:
Great Book Exchange The PTA’s GBE will be held January 23 through 27. Students may bring in two gently used books on
their reading level to trade in for different books. Please send the books in to your child’s teacher on Monday or Tuesday,
and the students will visit the book exchange later in the week to select their new books.
Morning Drop Off The building is open for students at 7:15 am. This is when we have teachers and staff members on
duty to monitor our students. Please have your child wait in the car until 7:15 am. This will help ensure the safest
environment.
