Third Grade Parents,

Next week will be a busy week. We still have a few interims to complete as well as our winter party and Polar Express Day. On Friday, December 19, we will have Polar Express Day. Your child may wear his or her pajamas, but they MUST wear tennis shoes. NO slippers, please! Please see the below schedule to make sure you are aware of what events and/or tests are on what days. I realize your child is becoming very excited about the holiday season, but it is imperative that he or she does his or her best. As always, if you have any questions, please feel free to email me this weekend.

Thank you, and have a great weekend!

Lauren  Ehlers, Ed. S.
