Dear Parents,

I want to thank all of the parents and grandparents who went with us on our snowshoeing field trip. I sure appreciate all the help you gave us along the trail. I hope you enjoyed yourselves as much as we did. It was a wonderful experience for the students. We really had a workout!! I know I was tired by the end of the day. J

IMPORTANT INFORMATION

I am sending home a sheet of “HOMEWORK HELP WEBSITES” that you may find helpful for your children. These sites are for students in K-12.

VALENTINE’S DAY AND BOXES: Students may make a Valentine box at home or they may make a sack at school. Students may bring their Valentine’s cards and boxes any time during the next two weeks. Please make sure they have their names on the boxes. I have put a list of student names for Valentine cards in the homework folders.

February 14^th & 21^st our fourth graders will participate in Common Core Field Tests to help us prepare for the new Common Core State Standards that will be replacing our Idaho State Standards.
