Week of August 26, 2019

Dear Fifth Grade Families,

Intramural sign ups begin on Friday, August 30th! Our own Mr. Eberlein, Miss Carrigee, Miss Sims, and Mrs. Lopez will be coaching teams this season. Please check your school newsletter for more information on intramural sign ups and practices.

We will begin giving infractions to students this week for hallway decorum, materials, and uniforms. If your student receives an infraction, it will be stapled into his or her agenda. Three infractions will result in a detention. Please see pages 94-99 of the Lower School Family Handbook to review our uniform guidelines.
