Welcome Back to School!

It was a great first day!  Today fifth graders became familiar with our procedures and expectations.  Students visited each class for approximately 20 minutes, met their teachers, and were given an introduction to their classes.  They also had their Day 1 specials and reviewed lunch and recess rules.  In addition students had a grade level meeting where we reviewed grade level and school rules and emphasized personal responsibility and treating others respect.  We are looking forward to a great year!

Math--Periods 1 and 2--No homework.

Science--Periods 3 and 4--No homework.
