Included with this week’s newsletter is a Parent Information Share we are seeking that for each of your children to please complete and return to their classroom teacher by week 3 of this term. Also in week 9 (Parent Interviews) each parent will be offered the opportunity to meet with their child’s teacher to share about their child.
