Weekly Reminders:
GRADE 4-HOMEROOM
A. Gym uniforms must be worn by 4th graders on Wednesdays for gym unless students are told differently.
B. All students will need to have a large plastic shopping bag (like the large ones sold in Marshalls or TJ Maxx for $1) by the end of the week to pack the books that they will not be taking home for the Christmas break. Please let your child know what you would like them to bring home to review during the break so that we do not pack them up. The books must be packed and put away so that the classrooms can be cleaned. Please do not send in garbage bags or plastic bags from the supermarket.
