         THANK YOU FOR A FABULOUS YEAR!  YOUR CHILDREN ARE INCREDIBLE AND IT HAS BEEN A PLEASURE HAVING EACH ONE IN MY CLASS!

         Remember that on the last day of school, both morning and afternoon classes will meet from 8:50-10:30/10:40.  We need to do it this way in order to allow all students the chance to meet their 1^st grade teachers.  We appreciate you changing your schedules accordingly. From past experience, it works much more smoothly if we dismiss the PM students at 10:30 and the AM students at 10:40.  All PM students need to be picked up in the kindergarten classroom.  The PM buses will not be running that day. Also, there is no Extended-day on that day.

         Have a wonderful week and please feel free to contact me with any questions or concerns!
