Thanks to all the parents who attended our Parent Information Night!

Homework:
***Our Weekly Homework Packet is due first thing tomorrow morning. Please be sure to get a parent signature.
***Now is a great time to start reading! Everyone knows their lexile and should begin getting a head start on their AR or independent book. Our first reading project is due on Oct. 14th. (Refer to the purple note that came home today in take-home folders.)

***We will have a short quiz tomorrow over finding the mean in a set of data.
