Newsletter: October 17-20


 17 October 11

Dear Parents,
Thank you for coming to the Parent Teacher Conferences. It was a great to talk one on one about your child and how they are progressing through the first quarter. I believe that if we continue to work together acknowledging your child’s strengths and areas for improvement can help us get a better picture of how your child is going to obtain a realistic goal in grade 3. 
Please continue to communicate with me through the homework sheet as I am also using it to send messages home on occasion.
