Character Trait for July – RESPECT – Talk with your child(ren) about how our school and classrooms are talking about and displaying respect. Discuss ways they can show respect in the different facets of their lives (sports, home, school, etc.), and of course, as adults, let’s model this trait.
Our first annual “Packet Pick Up” night was a success! Thank you to those who were able to come. I am grateful to our amazing OPTC for organizing this event! For those who could not make it, class lists are placed on the office window. Please note, I will not make any class changes the first two weeks of school.
