Week of April 1, 2019

Weekly Reminders:
GRADE 4-HOMEROOM

A. Gym uniforms must be worn by 4th graders on Wednesdays for gym unless students are told differently.

B. Remember all students are to come to the church in the morning for Prayers. Anyone that does not arrive before the Pledge of Allegiance will be marked late or absent.

C. April calendar will be distributed today, please check your child’s bookbag for it.

D. Remember that the students in grades 3-8 will be taking the NYS ELA exam on Tuesday and Wednesday. Please make sure that your child goes to sleep early and eats breakfast on these days.

E. Every child needs to bring a large plastic bag next week to pack up the books that they will be leaving at school during the Easter break. Some children left their bags here after Christmas, but some students did not bring one in, or it broke, or they took it home. I will let the children who need to bring in a bag know before the end of the week.

F. Make sure that your child has at least 3-4 sharpened #2 pencils with clean erasers for the NYS ELA test on Tuesday and Wednesday.
