News and Notes:
Report Cards: Report cards come home tonight. Please review it with your child and sign and return the yellow comment card. You do not have to write a comment, but you do have to sign the comment card as that is our way of keeping track if the parents have seen the report card. I also have to turn the yellow comment cards into the office. If you have any questions about your child's report card please let me know.
Baby Picture: Please have your child bring in a baby picture for our "Guess the baby game." Please find one picture between the ages of 1 and 5 years old. This way it helps the children to "guess" the baby without making it too hard or easy. Please bring on Monday, February 6.
Dress Up Days (optional): The student council has voted to "dress up" on these two days this month.
- Friday, February 10: PJ Day
- Wednesday, February 22: "Blue Out Day" To recognize George Washington's birthday the children can wear any shade of blue.
Baby News: As you all know my wife and I will be having our fourth baby in the next couple of weeks. I will be planning on taking about a week off when our son arrives. This way I can help Jen get settled and help our other children get to school/daycare.
