Dear Boulevard Families:
Thank you to all who turned out for the first-through-fourth-grade Curriculum Night on Thursday! What a wonderful opportunity to get into your child’s classroom, meet your child’s teacher and learn more about the curriculum. I trust that all who attended found the night to be enlightening and enjoyable. Remember, our kindergarten Curriculum Night is scheduled for Wednesday, September 27 th at 6:00 p.m. If you have a kindergartener, I hope to see you there!
Next week, please be reminded that we will begin fall benchmarking, the administration of simple language and math assessments that give teachers initial information on where each of the students are as we begin the new school year. Fall benchmarking will take place throughout the month of September during your child’s regularly scheduled computer lab times, and the results will be shared with families at fall conferences in October.
And, finally, so that you can all plan accordingly, Picture Day is scheduled for this coming Wednesday, September 6 th , and the PTO Back-to-School Bash is Friday, September 8 from 6-8:00 pm.
Thank you and have a wonderful weekend!

Sincerely,
Neal Robinson
