The website is a work in progress guys! I have updated some of the info and will be loading pictures from the first week later this week!
This week marks the start of assessments! While students are at literacy centers I will be pulling them to see what/how many letters they know, what kind of book knowledge they have, etc… It is VERY IMPORTANT your student is here an on time these next few weeks!
If you have not returned your pink Library Permission Slip, please do so ASAP! This is only a quick trip down to the Odessa Library to see what it has to offer and the connections it has to our library! We did not ask for any parent volunteers for this field trip, as it is just a quick trip!
REMINDER: If you have not completed your online enrollment for the school district, this HAS to be done by Friday, or your student cannot return to school on Tuesday, September 4th!
Class t-shirt order was submitted to The Dawg House on Friday in order to get our shirts by library field trip day! If you are an adult still wanting one you need to contact The Dawg House. If you did not send in the money for your student please do so ASAP!
