Dear Third Grade Parents,

Thank you to all the parents who were able to come out and celebrate with us today at the 3rd Grade Mad Hatter Block Party! We had a blast!

As a reminder:  On Tuesday, May 20th, please send your student with some sort of additional bag to pack up all of their class materials and personal belongings to bring home.

 

All Work due by end of Trimester

The end of our final trimester is looming!  The final day of trimester 3 is Thursday, May 22. Please make sure all missing work is turned in by Monday, May 19. Please reach out to that subject level teacher with any questions or concerns for missing work. If you have received an email from Infinite Campus about a missing assignment, please remind your child to visit with her/his teacher to get the work.  If work is a week overdue, please understand that it will be marked as a 0 unless it was due to an absence.  Please check the AA policies if you need to further understand our Late Work and Absentee Work policy.
