Medical, Media, and Concussion Forms

If you have not returned your signed medical, media, and/or concussion forms, please do so in this coming week. Without the medical form on file in the office, your child would not be able to attend field trips with us, and our first one will be coming up on October 17.

Scholastic Book Orders

If you intend to make a September order for Scholastic books, please do so by this Tuesday, September 24th so that I can place the order with Scholastic! Thank you to those of you already have, either on paper or online!

If you are not familiar with the Scholastic Book Club, the books that you order are books that are shipped here to school but are yours for in the home! The benefit though is that there is a little kickback for the classroom which allows me to purchase more books for within the classroom throughout the year.
