Welcome all families to third grade! I am enjoying getting to know your sweet children. They are all working so diligently. We are off to a great and busy start to third grade. We have lots of important dates coming up, so please check the Important Dates listed below on each newsletter.
Please take a few minutes to explore this website. Check out the "Information for Cool Otters" page for school related information. Also, the "Otter Parents" page has many helpful resources. All Scholastic book orders can be placed on line as well. You can go right to the "Scholastic Book Orders" tab to make your ordering easy peasy! Check out this feature and look for our first book order flyer in August before track out.
Coming up on Tuesday, July 25th is the 3rd grade Beginning of Grade Test (BOG). It is imperative that your child takes this test. Please ensure your child is at school that day. We will test in the afternoon. Please let me know if you have a prearranged appointment for that afternoon and you know your child will not be able to take the test in its entirety. Help your child to do his/her best. Make sure he/she gets a good night sleep, a healthy breakfast, and a calm start to the day.
Thank you for all of the extra classroom supplies. They will be put to good use!
