Special Announcements
*Students must take one AR test a week. It needs to be written on their AR sheet. This is the only way I know that they have read the book and are ready to take a test over it. It also helps students keep track of what books they have already taken a test over. If you misplace the AR sheet, please let me know.
*Please keep the Christmas Program sheet in your child’s folder. They need to have their own copy on the days we have program practice.
