Parents,

I hope that you had an enjoyable long weekend with your child. This week we are continuing with our Reading Series and reading the story “Thunder Rose”.

Please check your child’s planner on a daily basis. This is my way of communicating with you as far as assignments are concerned.

We have had a great 1^st month of school. I am seeing a lot of good effort in class. Please check with your child nightly about assignments and test dates.

Have a great week,

Arthur D. Caffey
