Backpack and folder - Please send a backpack and folder with your child. Computers are to come to school fully charged everyday. Please keep computers in a safe place at home and keep them charged daily.  We are going to try to use them each day.  I am aware that this is an inconvenience and we are discussing as a grade level if there might be a better solution. Snowgear - LABEL EVERYTHING.  Students will need snowpants, snow boots, hats and thick waterproof gloves or mittens.  These items may stay at school during the week and come home on weekends if that works well for your family.  Just tell your child the plan.	Thank you so much for all the donated items.  I appreciate it and will post again when needed. NWEA Testing We will be testing on Tuesday and Wednesday of this week with make up testing on Wednesday of next week.  Please make sure that your child is well rested for these testing days and if they are well that they be in school.  Thank you. Parent Teacher Conferences Winter conferences are not intended for all families.  Generally I am planning to meet only with about 7 families.  I will send out notices to those families directly.  I will also send out a questionnaire to the other families.  If you have a concern that you would like to discuss, I am more than happy to meet with you as well.  Simply fill out the note and return.  I will be sending out notes after the NWEA testing is complete on Jan 20th.  Conferences will be held virtually the following M-W in the evening.
