Week of September 3, 2019

Dear Families,

I hope you had a great Labor Day Weekend.  I had a lovely time in Tahoe with my family.  It took us a while to get home, but always worth it!

It has been three fantastic weeks of first grade!  We are already on day 12! We are still working on procedures and rules, and everyone is trying their best.  We're still getting used to the longer day of first grade, and getting better each day. :) 

Friday, September 6th is Picture Day.  You may order pictures before picture day, online at mylifetouch.com.  Enter Picture Day ID: BY419706Q0

We will visit the Makerspace on Friday, Sep. 13 at 9:30 to make Foil Art.  This project will involve the use of hot glue guns. We need 5-6 parent helpers if you’re available.

Our first homework packet will come home on Friday, September 20.

If you haven’t done so already, please fill out the online AVHSC Volunteer, participation, and communication distribution.   www.avhsc.org Remember existing and new families need to create a new account.
