Dear Florence Roche Families,
Tonight is the night! The grades 3 and 4 musical performance of School House Rock opens in the PAC with a 6:30 show this evening. There will be two shows on Saturday. You won’t want to miss this entertaining show. We were treated to a 2 song sample of the show yesterday afternoon. I can’t wait to see the full production.
The Scholastic Book Fair will be here next week. Here is the schedule for the classroom visits. Book Fair Schedule
We will be planning our student class placement for the 2025-2026 school year later this spring. Your input is an important part of this process and we encourage you to respond to the attached parent input letter and questionnaire. The parent input form is due back to your child’s teacher or to the office by Friday, April 18th. Here is the link to the placement letter. You will need to make a copy of the doc or download it in order to write on it.
