Weekly Update: 9/18-9/22

Things to Know:

SEESAW: If you haven't already, please consider signing up for Seesaw, a free app designed to help us communicate in real time. With Seesaw, your child has an online portfolio to store photos and videos of schoolwork, helpful links, and other fun information. Seesaw is private; you will only have access to your child's online journal. For added convenience, you can download the free app for your phone so you can access your child's work on the go! Visit https://app.seesaw.me/s/502-677-854 to get started. 

CONFERENCE SIGNUPS: You can now sign up for fall conferences at https://angelabrignac.youcanbook.me/

STAR CHARTS: Please continue to send your child's Star Chart in his/her homework folder as I like to check progress each day. Remember: our goal is 15-20 minutes of reading every night!

LIBRARY: Because of a scheduling conflict, we are now having library on THURSDAYS from 11:40-12:00. Please be sure that your child brings his/her books back to school each week unless he/she plans to renew it. Thank you so much!
