Last day of school items
Tomorrow is our final day of classes for the 2013-2014 school year. Thank you, students, parents and teachers for making this a great year.
A couple of things to mention:
Classes dismiss at 11:00 a.m. for our school picnic. Family of students are welcome to join us for lunch. Students will be excused following the picnic and should be picked up by 12:00 noon. There is no Aftercare tomorrow.
Please have your child bring their part of the picnic meal to school (as outlined in the notes sent home) if they have not already done so. Even better is to drop it off this afternoon so that we know we have enough.
Yes it is the last day of school, but it is also Thursday, so students should wear their uniforms, please.
Please make sure that your child brings a bag or their backpack to take their things home.
There will be a lost and found table at the picnic. Please check it before you leave Thursday, as anything left will go to the parking lot sale.
Report cards for 4th quarter will be mailed out on Wednesday, May 28th.
God's blessings to your family this summer!
