First Grade Musical
Hello First Grade Families! The First Grade Musical will be Thursday, March 9th at 7:00. Your kiddo has been very busy rehearsing, and I have heard it is going to be quite the performance. Here are some details about that night you might want to be aware of:
* I will be in the room around 6:30.  You can drop your child off there and then find a place to sit to enjoy the show.
* If your child does not have a costume to wear, they should wear their WOHE shirt.
*When the program is over, you can pick up your child directly from the commons area. 
Come and enjoy the show! See you all on Thursday night!

Spring Conferences
This year Spring Conferences will be March 28th and 30th. These conferences will be different from fall conferences in that they are not student-led but more conversation focused and a chance to look at data about your child’s growth this year. I am asking that your child does not attend. Information was sent home on Friday.
