Staying Organized

Hello Fourth Grade Families,

As we settle into the new year, please continue to partner with us as we foster independence and responsibility for your students. The work load will begin to increase as we prepare them for the next grade. We have high expectations for our students and we know they can rise to the occasion. Let's encourage our children to be prepared for class by using their agenda and accordion file daily to stay organized.
