Dear Parents,

           

IMPORTANT INFORMATION

• Thank you for supporting our Ellis Food Drive!  It is so exciting to see all of the food that will be taken to the food bank.  We will continue with the food drive next week.
• AR GOALS DUE THE WEEK WE COME BACK FROM CHRISTMAS BREAK! Friday, January 10^th is the end of the 3^rd six weeks.  PLEASE have your son/daughter read at least 20 minutes each night. 
• Many students are still struggling with memorizing their multiplication facts 1-9.  They need to become fluent with these facts to help with the multi-digit multiplication we are learning and upcoming long division.  PLEASE have them practice with flashcards each night.  Keep a set in the car to practice too.
