Can you believe we are almost at Spring Break? That means the end of the school year is just right around the corner! #timeflies
In 4th Grade, it's exciting because we are finishing our last couple months as OB students, and there's lot going on from here until May 19. So, let's look at a few of those things.
Jefferson City Trip
Thank you for turning in the Jefferson City field trip form and money so quickly. If you haven't done so already it's okay; you have until next Thursday, March 16. If you have any questions about cost you may email me directly. We have our 4 chaperones for the bus - Michael and Matthew's moms, Braylon's grandmother, and Grisham's dad. Parents are welcome to drive and meet us there.
As a reminder, the trip is on Thursday, March 30 (the week we come back from Spring Break). Please arrive at school by 7:30 am. We depart promptly at 8:00 am. We will arrive back at OB at 5:00-5:30.
Spring Parent-Teacher Conferences
Parent-Teacher conferences are next week, Tuesday March 14 and Thursday March 16. Everyone has signed up for a conference. Signupgenius.com will email you a reminder this weekend. If you have questions about your time you may email me directly.
Remember, on Thursday it is an Early Release Day, so pick up is at 1:15. On Friday there is no school to start Spring Break.
