Today is Friday, March 6, and it is an A Day.

Mrs. Ostermeier will put the track schedule on her classroom website. Please check it in addition to the daily announcements.

Spring Pictures will be taken on Wednesday, March 18 at 8:00. There is no form to pre-pay. You get to see the pictures before you purchase them.

Thank you to all of the parents who brought in snacks for the ISAT testing. Attendance and punctuality are essential for school success, but especially during the next two weeks of ISAT testing. Please reschedule appointments after March 12, if at all possible. If your students arrive at school after 8:00, they will not be allowed o go to class because of testing, so please make sure that they are at school on time. We will not interrupt classes with messages, so please communicate plans before school. Only in emergencies, or during lunch, will we be able to give messages to students. Thank you for your support!

There are several opportunities on Mrs. Heyen's table in the hallway. Some are offered by the high schools (cheerleading clinics), the Illinois State Museum, and UIS. Please stop by the table and take advantage of these activities.
