A Note From Your Fourth Grade Teachers
Fourth Grade Connections
January 12th, 2017
Dear Fourth  Grade Families,

We hope you had a lovely, peaceful, relaxing and fun time over the holidays. We enjoyed our time off, but sincerely enjoyed seeing the Fourth Graders upon their return last Wednesday. As we had quite a few students absent, we have decided to begin our new homework routine next week. 

Please note that we will be having our first field trips this month to Mavericks and to Mission Dolores. Please keep an eye out for our chaperone sign up on Track It Forward. 

Sincerely, 

Your Fourth  Grade Team
Lucinda Druck and Tyler Elliott
