The Week of 10-2-7

Dear Parents,
Just a reminder…..our local libraries have a copy of each of our textbooks and workbooks. They can’t be checked out, but instead they can be used in the library or photocopied.
Many reminders are given during the day and at the end of the day about homework. I hope your child has been responsible and organized.
*Tuesday is the last magazine turn in day!
