· I have a couple requests that will make our day go a little easier – The bell rings at 7:40 for school to begin. At this time Mrs. Greis begins prayer and announcements. We almost immediately leave the classroom for Rosary in the hall. If your child is just coming into class at this time, they are already behind. It would be helpful if they were here a few minutes earlier to give them time to unpack and complete their morning jobs.

· Students should not bring toys and jewelry to class. It is too much of a distraction. We have plenty of equipment for them to play with outside.

· Thanks so much for your help.
