Hello Parents,
We have almost made it to the holiday! The students have been working very hard all semester and I know they are looking forward to the upcoming break. I wanted to send a few announcements concerning tomorrow's events:

1. Aurther Christmas permission slips are due tomorrow as the movie is scheduled

2. If your child would like to bring in a treat for the class to share, that would be appreciated!

3. White Elephant Game is optional. If your child would like to participate, please have them wrap a gift up to $10 that is gender neutral.

4. Social Studies tests went home today. They need to be signed and returned tomorrow.

Thank you for such a wonderful semester and I hope everyone enjoys their holiday break!
Warmest Regards,
Mrs. Alvarado

Character Assembly

Hello Parents,
Tomorrow is our character assembly for 'Compassion.' Please make sure that your child is coming to school in their formal dress. All families are welcome to attend. There will be a few performances from the younger grades. Thank you and take care!

Social Studies

Hello Parents,
Tomorrow during social studies, the students will get the last part of the time to work on their study guides for the test next Thursday. Please send them to school with their guides. Some students have already started and they may bring in those materials. Thank you!

Fundraiser

Tomorrow there will be a school wide fundraiser. Students may come to school in a holiday sweater (with uniform bottoms) and/or a holiday hat (i.e. Santa Hat). Each item will cost $1 to wear. Students will check in at the gate. Thank you for your support!

Tutoring

Hello Parents,
I hope everyone had a great holiday weekend! I wanted to send a quick notice regarding tutoring. Tutoring is every Wednesday from 2:30pm-3:15pm. Reading and math are offered. If you feel that your child is in need of tutoring, please feel free to have them attend! Tutoring is open, so if there is a certain concept that your child is not getting, they are able to attend for selected sessions. This alleviates some of the concerns about other time commitments. Thank you parents and please email me if you have further questions. Take care.
Sincerely,
Mrs. Alvarado
