August 4-8, 2014

Welcome Back
Today marks the first full week of the 2014-2015 school year. I couldn't believe as I was writing the date on the board for the first day of school last week that I was writing the word "July." It's been a great three first days and I'm looking forward to the next 170 with a great group of students.

Notes to Sign and Return
Students have received three notes that need to be returned as soon as possible:
* The note that indicates you've seen your student's handbook
* The D.A.R.E. permission slip. (Should be starting next week.)
* The Science Lab Safety Contract
* Tuesday night sign Behavior Card for Wednesday return
