Welcome to 3rd Grade 2016-2017

Dear Families,

Welcome to third grade! I am very excited to work and learn with your student this year. I hope you and your student have had a great summer. Please have your student bring a book on the first day of school they can start or continue reading. 

I look forward to seeing you at Parent Information/Curriculum Night on August 23rd from 4 till 5pm (note correction from welcome letters)

In the meantime, please feel free to contact me via email.
