Welcome Back!! I hope you all had a lovely Thanksgiving holiday.

​ Parents,
  Apparently my blog did not post last week.  I did post a blog and it showed as posted when I checked it but something went wrong (again). I apologize for the inconvenience. FYI-in the future if my blog is not updated and your child did not write the spelling words in his or her planner, the backpack pages that are assigned for spelling homework have the spelling words (that's why I assign it for spelling homework). That being said, first thing Monday morning your child should write their spelling words in their planner. If they are absent that day it is their responsibility to get the spelling words from a classmate or from me when they return to class.
  This week is an important week for us...it's Accreditation time!  The Accreditation team will be on campus on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday.  Also, on Thursday we will have our annual Veterans Celebration it will begin at 8:30am.  If you know a Veteran please bring them to our event, we would love to honor them.
