Homework/Newsletter Wk. of 12-19-11
Happy Holidays! There is NO HOMEWORK this week. You should continue to read every day and you can still take AR tests and get new books every day this week.
Reminders to Parents and Students:
Candy Cane Grams are on sale Monday - Wednesday for $1 and will be delivered on Thursday. This benefits Relay for Life.
Thursday is the end of the marking period and we are taking tests this week. We will still work as usual every day until our party on Thursday. Try not to be late or absent or you will miss tests and have to make them up. Of course no one should come to school sick!
Car riders should be at school early enough to get to class and get settled before the bell rings at 7:50. We have several students who walk in as the bell is ringing each day and can't get unpacked or organized in time. If you take the bus, you will be here on time.
Volunteer Parents: Please remember to log in your volunteer hours with the office every time you volunteer at Nicholson. It is amazing how quickly the hours add up, even if you come in for 15 or 30 minutes to read to a class, run copies, or help with a holiday party!
Have a safe and happy Winter Break! Merry Christmas, Happy Hanukkah, Happy Kwanzaa, and a very Happy New Year 2012 to all our families and friends!
