Class Update - February 21

  ¡Hola familias!

Winter is back! I hope you are staying warm. 

📣 DON'T FORGET - SPRING CONCERT SURVEY

With having three Grade 5 classes, some logistical issues for the concert are created.  We understand that due to prior commitments, some students may not be able to participate.  In order to have a better idea of how to organize the instruments and the singing for the concert, we ask that you confirm your child's participation.  Please indicate on which date(s) your child can participate.  Grade 5 students are welcome to participate both evenings as this is an excellent way for them to experience performing these pieces in preparation for Que Pasa. Please respond to this survey by Tuesday, February 22, 2023, so that we have enough time to prepare.

MARK YOUR CALENDARS!
