Last Day of School Reminders

Please remember that children should NOT bring bookbags or lunch boxes to school tomorrow (bring lunches in disposable bag/containers). 

Report cards will go home with your child tomorrow!

Reminders for Tomorrow

Last call for 5th grade letters. If you intend to email a letter to me or to drop it by the school, please do so today so that I can get it printed and/or sorted and ready for your child. Tomorrow morning will be very busy!

Children should wear their "Sunday best" for tomorrow's award ceremony - dresses or pant suits for girls and collared shirts/dress pants for boys. However, we would like your child to bring his/her 5th grade Burnette T-Shirt for after the award ceremony and perhaps shorts and tennis shoes for the finale (most of the finale is outside).

On a different note, please keep an eye out for paperback books from Mrs. Upchurch's classroom collection. She's been very generous with them, but as is often the case, many are missing. Her books have a sticker with her name on them. If you find any, please send them in! Thank you!

Children may bring electronics tomorrow for reading and games (no music or headphones). All games should be school appropriate (no games rated Teen or Mature). Children will not be on any social media, the internet, texting, or listening to music!  I will be collecting the device from any child that does not follow the rules, and parents will have to come get the device on the last day of school.  This is meant to be a fun day for all!
