Reminders and Announcements
Parents: Students will have a conduct folder each night. It needs to be signed and your child's reading recorded on the reading log. Also, homework is written in their homework notebook. I try to sign it each day as well!

Scholastic orders are available to you this year. You may send cash or a check to school. Checks are to be made payable to Scholastic Book Clubs. Or, you go to [|Scholastic's website]and order by credit card. There are more selections to choose from if you order online. Our class also gets $3 toward free books if you order online!
