A love of reading:
Continue to encourage your child to read each night. At least 10 minutes of reading each night can have a positive impact on their growth and development.
A few reminders:
Students should be checking their Google Classroom as well as their school email frequently. In addition, students should be charging their Chromebooks each night.
Sincerely,
Leanne DeMarco, Principal
