Week 1-14-2013

It's the 2nd week back from Christmas vacation , and 3rd quarter is in full swing!  Next week we will have our WASC accreditation visiting our school for a few days.  Please make sure you discuss with them or remind them about following rules, proper uniform, and being welcoming to our visitors.  I know that the 4th graders are usually very well behaved and know how to treat newcomers, so I am not worried.  But a little reminder would be helpful, thank you for your support.
Don't forget that Thursday is  HALF DAY AND THERE IS NO SCHOOL ON FRIDAY, YEAH! OR MONDAY, YIPPEE!!
