Watch for an email from Colleen about sending your student names and reasons for recognition. Thanks for being timely in your reply so she can create the certificates.


Report Cards
Here’s another opportunity to brag, brag, brag and document the progress made over the last trimester of the year. As done in the past, do not assign next year teacher names, but note promotion to next grade.
