* If you would like your child to participate in the High Touch High Tech in-school field trip on Feb. 14th, then you will need to sign the green/white permission form.. If you need another form, please let your teacher know as soon as possible. Thank you!  

* Science Night: Tuesday, Feb. 7th, from 6:30-7:30pm.

* Parents, we have noticed a significant decrease in the amount of times reading logs are being returned to school. Please remember how important it is to have your child read EVERY NIGHT. The reading logs ensure that your child keeps track of his/her reading, as well as offers him/her reading material. Also, just a gentle reminder that these are books from Blackwell's media center and if they are not returned, charges will accrue. We thank you for your understanding!
