Please send your child with a sweater or jacket daily.
The weather has changed and it is getting colder.

Dear Parents,
PALS testing will begin
on Oct. 15-26, 2018. This assessment, given in the Fall and the Spring, will
test your child’s alphabet and sound recognition, beginning sound and rhyming
awareness, simple spelling, and concept of print. The kindergarten teachers
will be giving a section of this test each day. Attendance is important! Please
make sure your child is present and on time to school. For each day your child
misses, his/her teacher will have to double up on sections to catch up. It also
helps to get a good night’s rest and have a healthy breakfast in the morning.
Thank you for your
support!
