The remainder of the parade attire will be provided.
Please do not remove the Behavior Calendar from your child’s folder. It must be signed and returned at the end of the month.
Your child has checked out a library book. Please keep it in his/her backpack when not in use, so that the book will be available at school when needed.

SPECIAL NOTE: The “I Think I Can” (ITIC) program is in progress. It is a very worthwhile program and I would like to get 100% participation if possible! Your child must participate in at least 5 of the 8 weeks of the program in order to attend the PES Celebration. The ITIC Assignment is due every Monday.
Sincerely,
Linda Savoy
