WEEKEND NEWS

February 11, 2011

Dear Parents,

IMPORTANT INFORMATION

·         HUNDRED’S DAY is Monday, Feb. 14^th.  All students at Ellis are asked to make a small poster (Pink cardstock in homework folder) with 100 items on it.  Students may get as creative as they like.  They may glue items on (such as cotton, pennies, candy, cereal, etc), draw items, or a combination of the two.  Please try to have the students bring this poster back to school on MONDAY.  We want to display them in the room.

·         Please fill out the bottom portion of the Infinite Campus Parent Portal Contest Information Sheet.  Not only may the parents look at the grades, but students as well.  Please teach your son/daughter how to log-on and look at his/her grades.  It helps to keep them motivated and accountable for their education.  Help us win the party!!!
