Thank you so much for going above and beyond. I'm looking forward to meeting with you at Conferences next week. Please remember that there is early dismissal every day next week, and there are no FAST classes. If your child's transportation is changing due to early release, please write a note and explain the change to your child so that they are aware of how they go home that day. Due to the shortened day, our lunch and Specials times are different and shorter so I recommend not trying to join your child for lunch next week. The ILC has been transformed into an Enchanted Forest for the Book Fair! Our class will preview the Book Fair first thing on Monday morning.
