School pictures were sent home last week. Re-take day is Friday, October 6, for any student who was not present on picture day and also for those who would like a re-take. Order forms are available outside the office. If you would like your child’s picture to be re-taken, please return the picture package with an explanation of the problem so the photographer might be able to prevent the problem the second time.

Room parents are still needed for several classrooms: Mrs. Laskowski, Miss Snodgrass, Mrs. Josephsen, Mrs. Vaughn and Mrs. Toler.
