2/4 - 2/8


FYI: Mrs. Bowers and Miss Hadley's transition plan is underway since the start of Q3. Here is an update in an effort to keep you informed/in the loop!

*Miss Hadley will not be returning after the Spring Break as you know. 
This coming week Mrs. Bowers will also take on Spalding instruction (in addition to math and History) Miss Hadley will continue the week with science and literature (writing, grammar, and reading). Please remind your scholars that respect to teachers is shown through correct participation and responding appropriately to a teacher's directions. 
We are excited for the week ahead! We have been working diligently and communicating thoroughly everyday! We are so thankful for each other and blessed to be your child's teachers
