Next week we all great a wonderful break from school for our Thanksgiving Break. Take this time to rest, recharge and spend time with family.
Families, also take this time to check Skyward and take a look at your soldiers grades. Thanksgiving marks the half way point for the 2nd quarter and before we know it we will be on Winter Break and the quarter will be over. During this week off is a great time to catch up on missed assignments and take a few minutes between family time and Black Friday shopping to study a bit. |
When students return on Monday, November 27th, there are just a few days until December and a large block of testing days. Be sure to make plans now to have your SOLDIER in school on December 5, 7, 11-12 and 14th. These are all important testing days that will effect your child’s grade and promotion status.
We wish you all a wonderful holiday break and start the countdown until the BIG WINTER BREAK!!
Sincerely,
Eddie Foster
Proud Principal
