Class News

The Patrol Party for 5th graders will be held on June 1st from 5-9 PM at St. George. Please fill out the form that was sent home last Friday if your child is interested in attending. It is NOT a mandatory event, but meant to celebrate the 5th graders' hard work.

After this week of Patrol, there will be no more weeks of 5th grade patrol due to the 4th graders getting some end-of-year practice for next year. If you child had been scheduled for any weeks after this one, please disregard.

Some students have volunteered to help supervise the 4th grade patrol training days. A schedule of those supervisor days are being sent home today.

Please remember to check PowerSchool for updates on the grades.

Reach out and make a difference.
