Students may come to school today as their favorite Dr. Seuss character in honor of Read Across America Day.
Read Across America Day, also known as Dr Seuss Day, is a yearly observance in the USA inaugurated by the NEA (National Education Association). It is held on the school day that is nearest to the 2nd of March, Dr Seuss's birthday. Theodor Seuss Geisel was an American artist, book publisher, animator, poet, a political cartoonist as well as an author. He is best known for authoring over 60 children’s books.
When people make the time to read with children, children get the message that reading is important. Read Across America celebrations help motivate kids to read and celebrate the diversity in their community and our country. Thank you for taking the time to read to or with your students today!

Device Needs
We are working diligently to make sure that every 3rd, 4th, and 5th grade homeroom classroom is 1:1 with laptops and desktops. We will be getting new ipads next week in order to get Kindergarten and 1st grade more updated ipads in the class and getting 2nd grade almost 1:1 with ipads, laptops, and desktops.
Please remember to put in a service ticket if there are ANY DEVICES that are not working properly. Some examples are:
Computer will not charge or hold a charge.
