Welcome Back, Families! We hope you had a fabulous winter break filled with rest, fun, and special memories! 🐼✏🎓✨Just a reminder, students return to school on Wednesday, January 7th. We can’t wait to see everyone this morning for an amazing start to Semester 2! 📚💛
Panda Families,
This is a friendly reminder that winter packet activities for reading and math were sent home before break. We hope our students have been spending a little time working on them over the break.
Students who return their completed packet to their teacher on Wednesday will earn a Badge of Honor and a special treat on Friday. There’s still time to finish—students have a few more days to complete their work. If a packet has been misplaced, a copy of the winter packet was sent via email for your convenience.
Thank you for your continued support. Go Pandas!
