HELLO
3rd Grade
Weekly Update, Families!
Hello Barracuda Families! The Book Fair is this week! Students may shop Monday, 9/21 through Friday, 9/25 from 8:30 AM–2:30 PM. The Book Fair is cashless, so families who would like their child to shop should set up a Scholastic eWallet online. Students with eWallet funds will have an opportunity to visit the Book Fair in small groups during the school day. Set up your child’s eWallet here.
A few important reminders for this week: please be sure to purchase your child’s Third Grade Spirit Shirt through MySchoolBucks if you have not already done so. Spirit shirts will be worn for field trips, Field Day, and may be worn on Fridays as well.
Also, please sign and return the yellow Photo Release Form with your child on Monday.
Thank you for your continued support, and I hope everyone has a wonderful week!
Ms. Feinberg and Mr. Vargas
