Weekly Update: September 20 - September 24

Thank you all so much for the amazing support this week. It warms my heart to know my students and parents were thinking about my family and I during our time of illness. I am happy to report that we are all feeling much better and ready to get back to school. Thank you all for the extremely thoughtful gift.

• Parent Teacher Conferences will be held on Monday, October 11. Conferences will be virtual and in 15 minute time slots. If you are unable to attend a virtual conference, don't worry your child's conference form will still be sent home for you. I'll be sending out an email today with an attached Google Document. Sign up on the document. Thanks so much!
• Class Dojo - Check messages and your child's daily participation by tapping on the Class Dojo app each day. I try to post almost daily a Class Story to share a tidbit of what's going on in our classroom for parents. Thanks so much!
• Water bottle - Please, make sure your child has a water bottle in his/her backpack everyday. It's super hot outside and the water fountains are not accessible right now (on the refilling stations).
