Class Update

Love Ms. Cera, Mrs. Olivera and Mrs. Arnaez 

Dear Parents,

As a reminder, please remember to send students to class with sharpened pencils. As the year progresses, some students are becoming more and more dependent on a pencil always being available in class.

In addition, this upcoming week will be Ms. Cera's official last week in class. However, she will be returning from time to time to cover for our class. She has truly been a wonderful addition to our experience. The students have become very fond of her. A couple students asked if they could express their appreciation to Ms. Cera. Yes, we encourage them to create something as a thank you! This coming Thursday, we will be celebrating her graduation. It's a surprise! We truly wish her much continued success.

Please be advised that the students will be participating in the BATs II during the first week of December.  We urge to make sure they are going to bed early and are coming to school having had a healthy breakfast.

We look forward to seeing you in the near future!
Have a wonderful holiday!
