Quarter 3 -- week 1

Happy 2017!  We hope that you had a fun and enjoyable Winter Break!  We can’t believe how quickly the first semester came to an end.  Here we are back for a fresh start in January! I am looking forward to hearing all about your child's adventures over winter break.

SOCKS--Students can pay for socks when the return from Winter Break in the can on the front desk at school.  They need to pay $1 to wear colored tights or socks all quarter long otherwise the uniform requirements are white, navy blue, or black socks.

AWARDS - Awards will be coming out after the start of the new year.  Students from each class have been chosen for the following awards:  “Bighorn, Cooperation & Collaboration, Attentiveness, Most Improved and Work Ethic.”  We look at “all around” great students who display unique qualities in order to distribute awards appropriately to those students who deserve them.  Both of your child’s 1st and 2nd grade teachers discuss who should receive awards.  I am not sure when the assembly will be held however, please check your child's binder and I am positive that they will be SO excited that they will not forget to give you their award!
