HELLO
3rd Grade
🌟 Happy Weekly Update, Families! 🌟
We are looking forward to an exciting week before Spring Break! Please encourage your child to finish the week strong and continue putting forth their best effort.
Attendance is especially important right now. If possible, please make sure students are at school every day and for the full day. We are working hard to grow their skills and prepare for the upcoming FAST test, and being present in class helps them get the practice and support they need.
Also, please ensure your child brings their headphones to school each day, as we use them frequently for learning activities.
Thank you for your continued support! I truly appreciate your partnership in helping our Barracudas succeed.
