Homework_Monday_Sept.19, 2011

We have made a change to our schedule to help your child (hopefully) have a better day. Mrs. Dyer will be teaching reading and math to her class, and Ms. Martin will be teaching reading and math to her class. We will still be switching classes for science and social studies, but switching for our core subjects has just been too hard on everyone. We feel that this change will benefit everyone. As always, if you have any questions, comments, or concerns, do not hesitate to contact me!
