Dear Parents, Report cards go will be going home today with the students. If

you have any questions or concerns, please contact me at home or at school. With the cold weather still keeping us indoors more than we would like, now is the perfect time to have your child use IXL Math. IXL Math is a free app that can be downloaded on your ipad, ipod, notebook, or phone or you can access it online on the school’s website. IXL Math is a program that reviews math facts, word problems, money, and measurement. Please encourage your child to use this great math tool.

Cookie Dough SalesThank you to everyone for the great job selling cookie dough last week! We had some big orders. The cookie dough will be delivered to the school in

early February. A note will be sent home with more details

when the exact date and time is known.

Accelerated ReaderThere is still one week left to earn AR points for the month. Keep on reading so you don’t

miss out on the sledding party! AR tests can be taken during

the school day, before school or after school. I’m always here

early in the morning if you want to take an AR test before

school starts.
