Dear Parents,

It is hard to believe that we are a little over halfway through the first quarter marking period! Today, in your Wednesday Envelope, you will find your child’s Interim Progress Report. One copy is for you to keep and one is to sign and return. You are strongly encouraged to call or email the teacher(s) if you have any questions or concerns regarding the report. We truly welcome the opportunity to talk with you about your child’s progress.

&nbsp;

Enjoy your week!

Ms. Moreau
