Newsletter Week of September 3

Mrs. Creger's Fifth Grade News
       Welcome GRANDPARENTS
We can't wait to visit with our grandparents on Monday the 9th. 
Early years and lower school students will provide a small music program 
to honor our grandparents.

Note from the Teacher
         Please look for state report project guidelines that have been sent home in Friday folders. The students will complete this assignment at home and the project is due on Monday, September 9.
        We are excited to be using Chromebooks this year. Each student has received a Chromebook device to use during the school year. Thank you for reviewing the contract agreement with your child. As part of our weekly instruction, the  students began learning Chromebook rules and procedures. We are anxious to use these devices in our daily instruction as we develop new skills. Just a reminder that the fifth grade will use their Chromebooks during school hours only. They are not allowed to carry them home.  
        Please encourage your child to be a smart, considerate, and respectful student. Thank you for the support! Have a safe Labor Day weekend!
