We had excellent attendance on Tuesday, for our Fall Picture Day. Fewer than 10 absences in the entire school. Let’s make that a goal for every day!! ??? ???? ?????
I hope that students completed their virtual day assignments on time to get credit and be counted for attendance purposes (YES, we do take attendance on virtual days, based on students completing their work on time).
Tomorrow, students will receive Progress Reports for the first quarter. Be sure to check your child’s progress reports…and provide the necessary push if your student is not performing to the best of his/her ability.
The class of 2020 is selling Krispy Kreme donuts through September 19,, with a delivery date of Friday, 9/21. The cost is $9 per dozen. Please contact Mr Meyer at [email protected], or make your purchase at the NUT pass desk before school.
The 6th grade is hosting a fundraiser day at Bakers Square in Lansing on Monday, September 17. The flyer is attached.
See below for information regarding the Arts on the Avenue festival to take place this weekend in downtown Hammond. The weather should be beautiful for you to take advantage of this very family-friendly event right here in our wonderful downtown. ????????
