Hello,
I certainly hope everyone enjoyed the three day weekend in honor of Veteran's Day. Thank you to all who have served in our military. We are at the halfway point of second quarter. Progress reports will be coming home this Friday. If you have any questions about the progress reports, please let me know. Remember, that missing assignments can still be turned in, and assessments my be redone for an improved score. Also next week there will be no school on Thursday and Friday for Thanksgiving. Please enjoy a few days with your family, and remember all that you are thankful for. I am certainly thankful for having a wonderful group of fifth grade students and supportive families.
Thank you,
Adam Johnson
