Field Trip:
There are still a few students who have not turned in their permission slips and money for the field trip. Please get the form and money in as soon as possible. If it is your desire for your child to not participate in the field trip, please let me know by email. Students who have not turned in their form and payment will spend the morning in the fifth-grade classroom working quietly.

No Math Tutoring:
There will be no tutoring on Wednesday or Thursday this week due to the spring concert being Wednesday evening and the field trip on Thursday. It will be a nice break for the students who have dedicated so much of their time toward math. Tutoring students will be sent to study hall and then to the MPR to be picked up by 2:40 p.m. (Wednesday) or 3:40 p.m. (Thursday). Please email me if you would like them to skip study hall and go directly to the MPR to be picked up.

Clubs:
May 6 - 10 will be the last week of after school clubs.

Shoe Policy:
Please note the most recent school newsletter in regard to the shoe policy for the 19-20 school year. Shoes are to be athletic (tennis, Keds) and solid black (including black soles and laces). The newsletter has helpful pictures if you are looking for examples of what is acceptable for next year.

Penny War:
This is the last week for those interested in participating in the Penny War. If you have spare change lying around, you can give your child coins to donate it in a competitive way. The proceeds go toward playground equipment for next year.
