Notes to 3A Parents:
Various paperwork went home on Back to School Night. Please return the forms promptly. I'm still waiting on a few Third Grade Questionnaire - make sure it includes the e-mail address. I send out various e-mails to all my 3A parents throughout the year.
I will be e-mailing you a copy of September's calendar to record your child's minutes this week. The required number of minutes is 240 minutes for September (about 10-15 minutes per day). Just a reminder that we will be reading 10 minutes @ D.E.A.R. time. Your child may count this towards his/her minutes.
