1.      Report Cards - Every year it is a struggle for our office and teachers to get the final report card out to your family on the last day of school. This year instead of sending report cards home on the last day of school, we will have them available for pickup on May 30-31 in the school office from 8:00 A.M. to 3:00 P.M.  If for some reason you are unable to pick up on those dates, you may send in a self addressed stamped envelope or 50 cents to your homeroom teacher.
