ATTENTION PARENTS:

There is a time change for the field trip. Your child should arrive at the school at 5:00 and we will be leaving at 5:30. Our program is not starting until 6:45. The students do not have to wear their uniform, but must follow non-dress code attire. That means no spaghetti strips, tank tops, graphite on shirts, and no blue jeans. They must bring appropriate PJ's for the boys and girls to be together. We are not allowed to take electronics or board games into the park.

Reading-No Hw

L.A-No Hw

S.S-Print out pictures for brochure
Please make sure that the pictures are the correct size. They need to fit on your brochure. The best bet is to print them out in color rather than having to color them in. The best way to change the size of pictures is to do as follows:

Go to google images
click on show picture full size
Right click on picture
click on copy
open up word
paste into word
click on the picture
there will be squares around the picture which means that you can resize it.
This way you can print a few pictures on one page and you can choose the size you want.
