Dear Parents, 
We hope you enjoyed your long break! 


We have a new digital portfolio called Seesaw. We will be uploading cool things we do here at school. To access this portfolio, you need to download the app called "Seesaw Parent". Please check it out and let us know what you think.

It is starting to get hot in the afternoon. Please remember to have your child bring in refillable water bottle and a hat. Please make sure to put bug spray and sunscreen on daily 

We would like to ask you for your cooperation. Lately, the first graders have been playing games that are quite physical: play-fighting, throwing rocks and bark. We have talked to the kids about this and would like you to talk to your child about this as well.
