2023-2024 School Year
This truly has been an amazing school year! We wish everyone a restful and relaxing summer break! Please continue to have your child read each night. Research shows that reading for 20 minutes daily increases students' exposure to words by one million, which increases vocabulary and comprehension skills.
Report Cards
Please be sure to review your child’s report card. If you have any questions, please email teachers by Tuesday the 28th. After that date, they will be on summer break.
If your child was absent on the last day of school and did not receive a report card, please arrange to pick it up at PME.
