Friday Folders
- Please remember to check your child's Friday folder each week. It has come to my attention that important information is not being read. There are very important updates from the school and our class that go home each week.
- Some forms need to be signed and returned. I have had to send multiple copies home due to items being thrown out or misplaced. Thank you for your help in this matter.
