Dear Grade 5 Students and Parents:
I enjoyed meeting many parents at last Thursday's "Meet the Teacher" night. I look forward to working with parents to make this year a successful one for your child.
Please return any parent-volunteer forms and student information forms by the end of this week. I appreciate that so many parents have volunteered to help in our classroom and on our field trips. Over the next couple of weeks I will follow-up with parents about volunteer opportunities this year. If there are any concerns or questions from our meeting, please contact me.
Our first field trip is on Wednesday, October 9th, to the Cannery in Steveston. This field trip ties in to our Science unit about Simple Machines. We will need parents to drive and supervise. A field trip letter will be sent home in the next few days.
