Hi Parents,

Please check out what things are going on around town and things that might need your attention here at school.

Title 1 Parent and Family Survey
Your child should have brought home the family survey on Monday for you to complete. Please send it back to school with your child by Friday May 19th. You can also complete the survey online by using the QR code that is attached to this email. Thanks in advance for doing this so that we can use the information to make our Title 1 schools better.
