Update: Office Hours for 4th Grade Students, Offered Tues - Friday, 7:45 - 8:10
Dear Parents and Guardians,
Thank you so much for supporting our LEAP Review Office Hours for our 4th Grade students. This morning we had over 50 students attempt to attend, and some students were turned away. To eliminate this issue, we are adding an overflow class daily. Students will report to the appropriate room. When that class fills, the door will be shut, and the overflow will be sent to a second classroom for instruction. Therefore, we will be able to accommodate 52 students per day. Please be first in the carpool line, arrive at 7:45, and take advantage of this needed practice.
The schedule will be as follows: (2 classes per day)
Tuesdays Wednesdays Thursdays Fridays
Reading Math Writing Math
As always, we appreciate your support,
Lyn Kelly
