Science workbooks......
Dear parents of the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th graders,
I am very pleased to have finally met all your children. This week, as you may already know, the students received their textbooks and workbooks. Unfortunately, some students may have received science workbooks in less than good condition. However, this is a temporary situation as we are waiting for new ones on back order. If your child has a workbook in less than good condition, they do not need to cover them. Once the new books arrive I will distribute them to the students in need, and request that they be covered. Thank you very much for your patience and understanding. Have a great weekend.
