Dear Parents,

Here is some end of year information for you,

· We will be having our last spelling and reading tests for the year on Thursday this week.

· The library will close for the year on Wednesday of this week. Today my students took their last A.R. tests and returned their books. If your child has a library book at home please make sure it gets turned in by Wednesday.

· Tiger Tracks is this Friday, May 21^st. The day is arranged kind of like a “field day” for the students. We welcome parents!

Thanks,

Mrs. Shana Smith
