Portfolio Reviews Success
If you came and celebrated your child’s work at a Portfolio Review I want to thank you for making the time. If you somehow missed it, please take the time this week to connect with the teacher about allowing your child the privilege of this shared time with you. The importance you place on schoolwork is significant to your child’s education.

No School Days
Presidents Days are upon us. There will be no school Feb 17^th and Feb 20^th

Forms Due Now
Please turn in the Intent to Re-enroll form for next year. It is the opportunity for us to make our classes and know how many students we can let it in as well as teacher placement for next year. Without your help Donna and Tammy are without the information they need to effectively run a lottery. The form is on the website under “Parents” and “Forms”

Volunteer Needed
Richard Odegard’s schedule does not allow him to continue as our fabulous “traffic monitor”. So we are taking volunteers for a new parking lot monitor, 8:15-8:50am. As a support to this parking monitor, please do not stop in the red zone in front of the school and please proceed with caution in the parking lot
