Graduation Photo Collection

Ask your homeroom teacher for more information on the link! Thanks for your contributions! As a Reminder all pictures are due April 14th. We are in need of more pictures of the students when they were in K-3 grade.

Sky Ranch Note from Nurse Kane
Please turn in all medications and medication forms, for Sky Ranch, to Nurse Kane no later than April 18th. 

Picnic Coupon
We will be using our April holiday coupon on April 18th. The coupon is for the students to have lunch outside on this day (weather permitted). We ask that parents do not come up and eat with their child this day so that the students can enjoy this experience with their friends!

End of Year Conferences 
The end of the year is quickly approaching and we wanted to let you know that during the last week of the school your child's teacher will be sending home end of the year assessment information. Along with the assessment information, fifth grade has put together a list of things your child could work on over summer if you were looking for some additional academic practice. If you would like an end of the year conference, please reach out sometime next week so that your child's teacher can get it scheduled. Fifth grade is looking forward to all of our end of the year activities and we will miss seeing our TCE Texans here next year. We still are moving full steam ahead with all of our curriculum and learning and are enjoying our last six weeks of school with your child. Time is flying in fifth grade!
