Additional Information:
· Arrow Club tutoring is on Tuesday and Thursday this week. Please have your child picked up at no later than 4:40.
· Homework packets will be coming home each Monday. The packet will consist of two math assignments and two language assignments. These papers will be review work in order to keep the skills “fresh” in their minds. The packets will be due on Friday of each week, so your child can work on these when their schedule permits. This is a new school-wide requirement.
