Special Projects

EVERYDAY your child will be bringing and returning a yellow take-home folder called a Star Folder. This folder will contain any important school papers, homework, and your child’s daily work. Some days it may be empty, but please make it a habit to check the folder everyday and make sure your child returns it to school daily. Be sure to review your child’s daily behavior indicated on the calendar.

A backpack is recommended to keep your child’s folder and belongings safe and neat. Please use this folder for sending notes, papers, lunch checks, etc. to school.
