Welcome back to school! I hope you had a restful and enjoyable summer vacation.
This year will surely
be very busy. We plan on doing many interesting and

wonderful year with a great group of fourth graders.
It is very important that we work together to
make sure the students learn how to become organized,
accountable and responsible individuals.
The students will be given a green assignment book in
which they are expected to write all their assignments.
Please check their assignment books regularly.
