Hey Panda Family,
We are on the home stretch! Only 7 more days. You got this! I know your tank is running on low, we can see the light at the end of the tunnel, and summer is quickly approaching; however, we have to finish strong this last week and a half! Help out your teammates where you can, encourage the upper grades students to do their best on their EOG on Monday, and make lasting memories with your students these last few days. Make the days count while counting down the days! Have a wonderful weekend 🐼

Grade 3-5 homeroom teachers will need to review the online tutorial and turn in a roster (which I will provide) with the day (dates) you completed the tutorial with your signature by May 1.

Please let me know if you have any questions/concerns.
Thank you for your continued support, understanding, and flexibility.
